Europe8 sources6 countries6m ago
The German government has formally blamed Russia for an attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport in eastern Germany last month. The incident involved an explosive-laden drone discovered near a Ukrainian cargo plane on August 4, which failed to detonate due to an apparent faulty detonator.
In response to the attack, Berlin announced retaliatory measures, including the closure of a Russian consulate. German authorities characterized the incident as dangerous behavior and part of a broader, systematic effort by Moscow to cause significant damage through hybrid attacks.
