The Czech secret service has accused Russia of being behind a series of bomb threats against schools in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, exacerbating tensions between Prague and Moscow. Hundreds of schools closed due to these threats, which ultimately proved unfounded. Czech secret service head Michal Koudelka warned of cyber attacks linked to Russia, highlighting a broader trend of cooperation among nations deemed as 'axis of evil.' The Czech Republic, a NATO member, has had strained relations with Russia, particularly following the 2014 Vrbětice explosion and ongoing support for Ukraine.
