Explosive Drone Discovered at Leipzig/Halle Airport

An explosive drone has been discovered at Leipzig/Halle Airport, raising questions about its authorship in the public sphere. While Chancellor Merz pointed to Russia in response to drone sightings at German airports last year, this time there are varying assessments of the incident.

The federal government refers to an attack by "foreign powers" while avoiding a direct accusation against Russia. Defense experts, however, see signs suggesting a possible Russian authorship. The debate surrounding the incident remains heated and unresolved.
