German police detained a 31-year-old Romanian citizen on 6 November 2025 in Hanau suspected of painting almost 50 Nazi swastikas using his own blood on vehicles, mailboxes, and building facades. Police were alerted on 5 November after a man saw a swastika-like reddish liquid on a car hood. Tests confirmed it was human blood. The suspect was found at his home following a tip-off. Police stated he was intoxicated, had self-inflicted injuries, and his motive was personal and job-related. Hanau’s mayor Claus Kaminsky expressed deep shock, recalling the town’s 2020 traumatic far-right terrorist attack that killed nine people with immigrant roots. Hanau has filed a criminal complaint against the suspect. Separately, Belgium’s Defence Minister Theo Francken announced plans to strengthen the National Air Security Centre and consider anti-drone measures following recent drone sightings disrupting Brussels airport. The Belgian government held an emergency national security meeting and signaled intent to shoot down disruptive drones. These events highlight rising security concerns related to extremism and hybrid threats in Europe.
