Denmark has formally accused Russia of conducting two destructive cyberattacks, labeling them evidence of hybrid warfare. The Danish Defence Intelligence Service attributed one attack targeting a water utility in Køge that caused burst pipes to the pro-Russian group Z-Pentest, while distributed denial-of-service attacks on election-related websites were linked to NoName057(16), a group with Russian state connections. Denmark plans to summon Russia's ambassador over the incidents, which officials describe as attempts to create insecurity and punish Ukraine supporters.
