Alert for terrorist attacks on US military bases in Europe

Several US military bases in Europe have been placed on alert for a potential terrorist attack against military personnel or facilities. Among these, the army garrison in Stuttgart, Germany, home of the US European Command, has increased its alert level to “Charlie”. This level indicates a high probability of terrorist action. The United States European Command (USEUCOM) has stated that it constantly monitors the situation and takes additional measures to ensure safety, without providing specific details for operational safety reasons. An official told CNN that this threat level had not been seen for at least 10 years, suggesting a real threat. Other bases in Germany, Italy, Romania, and Bulgaria have also increased security measures. The nature of the intelligence that led to this increased alert has not been clarified.
