This was about cargo planes.

"Russia was responsible for sending two incendiary devices to DHL logistics hubs in Germany and the United Kingdom in July as part of a wider sabotage campaign to possibly start fires aboard aircraft bound for North America, a Western security official told NBC News.

The Wall Street Journal first reported on the suspected plot.

Polish authorities have arrested four people and are searching for two more in connection with the case, according to government officials and Polish media.
