The German government concluded on Tuesday that Russia was responsible for an attempted hybrid attack involving an explosive-laden drone at Leipzig/Halle airport last month. In response to the incident, Berlin ordered a series of measures, including the closure of a Russian consulate and a Russian cultural centre in the German capital.
Leipzig airport was targeted due to its strategic role in handling the transport of military goods for Germany and NATO allies, as well as serving as a base for Ukraine's Antonov Airlines.
