Isn't that technically an attack? And being an attack it's an act of war?
We (EU and UK) are at war with Russia. No need to beat about the bush any longer. Let's call a spade a spade.
Hybrid warfare, yes. Russia is doing the classic salami slice method seeing how far they can go without it being called open warfare. He went too far with his drones doing fly-overs though so now we're taking his shadow boats.
Some politicians are slowly starting to talk about more "operational" response. At this rate EU will start offensive operations about 2 years after Russia takes over Vilnius.
And then we have all of the paid traitors in the right wing (and some left wing) parties in various European countries, who are busy doing Putin's bidding.

It's called Hybrid warfare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_warfare.
Yes, everyone who's not controlled by Russia agrees they are waging Hybrid war on EU. So far the response was purely defensive though.

Small potatoes. They blew up an ammo depot in Czech Republic.
