France 24 reports that the CIA has warned several countries that Russia may be preparing hybrid operations across the Mediterranean. The report widens the conflict's geographic frame beyond Ukraine, where sabotage, cyber operations and other covert activity are increasingly treated as part of the broader confrontation. The precise operations involved, however, remain unclear and the warning has not been independently detailed.
