AUTOMATED SUMMARY
Fridges and freezers at supermarkets in Belgium, Estonia, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Sweden malfunctioned overnight, with temperatures spiking and food spoiling. The incidents follow a similar wave of attacks in France last month.
Ahold Delhaize, Colruyt, ICA and Coop were among the chains reporting problems, and one Swedish store said its units had been set to 50C. Authorities have not said who is behind the attacks.
The Pentagon is investigating suspected attacks on US military commissaries, and Axios asks whether American stores could be next.
