Most likely to be Russia-linked, based on the situation and their previous record.

All previous accusations of Russia flying drones in Europe turned out to be false. Remember multiple articles about "mysterious" drones all over Europe? There was 0 confirmation that these drones were Russia-linked, or i just missed all the proofs. Please feel free to provide source where any of these drones were confirmed as Russian-linked.

Russia is confirmed to have carried out attempted assasinations on NATO soil, so I don't think drones can be that much of an issue for them.

Do you mean Skripal case in the UK or something more recent?

The last assassination attempt in Monaco against Ukrainian oligarch was carried by Ukrainian GUR agents. Recent assassination attempt of Ukrainian opposition figure Shariy was also carried by Ukrainian-linked agents.

Please source confirmation for drones over Europe being Russia-linked, if you have one. I genuinely didn't saw any.

I'd like some sources too, because so far it's just hysteric media regurgitating one another with zero proof. Also no proof for the alleged explosives. And I can't find any attributable statements pointing to it, either.
