According to the sources, the intelligence services have received data in the last two weeks that indicate that Russia is considering the possibility of organizing attacks on US bases and their personnel using third parties. This information, according to the sources, was deemed “alarming enough” to trigger “additional security protocols”.
CNN already reported on June 30 that several US military bases in Europe have been declared on high alert.
Specifically, the U.S. base in Stuttgart, where the headquarters of the U.S. Armed Forces European Command (USEUCOM) is located, the level of readiness has been increased to the “Charlie” level, which is applied when intelligence information indicates the possibility of a terrorist attack on army personnel or military equipment.
One of the interlocutors of the TV channel stated that such a level of threat has not been experienced in at least the last ten years.
The US Armed Forces European Command declined to comment on the news. However, USEUCOM spokesman Dan Day said that “the increased vigilance is not related to any specific threat, but to a combination of factors that potentially affect the security of US forces in the European theater of operations.”
