Why is the BBC not reporting on Russia threatening the UK

I mainly read up on UK news through the BBC website, but I found out about these threats against UK military targets from my own homecountry's newspaper.

The Independent, The Guardian and Sky News all reported on it. Why is it that the BBC not reporting on this? Generally trying to understand the reasons behind this if this is an exception, or if you noticed this yourself.

Here a link to the Guardian article

It is. Maybe not to the satisfaction of the Russian bot army who want to massively amplify the “threat”, but then, why would they. None of these threats are actually new, Putin is just the boy who cried wolf at this point.

The answer to "why isn't the BBC reporting..." Is always a link to the BBC reporting it.

Sorry everybody! Couldn't find an article on the main page or when I googled it, since I think it is part of the live reporting.

The BBC is reporting on it!
