Merz says perpetrators of hybrid attacks like the one at Leipzig airport will pay for it

German opposition leader Friedrich Merz has stated that Germany is increasingly becoming a target for hybrid attacks, specifically citing a recent incident involving an explosive-laden drone at the Leipzig airport. Merz vowed that those responsible for such actions will be held accountable for their conduct.

Authorities have confirmed the discovery of a third drone near the Leipzig airport, following the earlier recovery of two other explosive-laden drones in the vicinity. These incidents are being treated as part of a broader pattern of hybrid threats facing the country.
