According to Rzeczpospolita (citing PAP and the Times of Israel), the ship "Crown Iris," bound for Haifa, was stopped in the port on the Greek island of Syros. The reason was an anonymous tip about an explosive device attached to the hull. There were reportedly 940 passengers and 597 crew members on board, and the passengers were temporarily evacuated. The coast guard found no explosives, but the ship is awaiting further inspection.

On the same day, threats were also made against several commercial flights, including Ryanair, SAS, LOT (London Heathrow – Warsaw) and Wizz Air. According to reports, all of the alerts turned out to be false.
