Hungary puts gas pipeline under military protection amid false-flag accusations
AI Summary
Hungary has placed a gas pipeline on its border with Serbia under military protection, according to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, following the discovery of explosives nearby. The incident occurred days before a Hungarian election and a visit from U.S. Vice President JD Vance. Serbian authorities reported finding the explosives near the pipeline, which carries Russian natural gas to Hungary. The event has sparked accusations of a potential "false-flag" operation to influence the election, with some Hungarian officials implying Ukrainian involvement, which Kyiv denies, suggesting a Russian false-flag operation instead. Orbán emphasized the pipeline's importance and the military's ability to protect it, while opposition figures dismissed the move as political theater.
