Two drones were spotted above a German military base on Thursday, two days after an explosive-laden drone was found near a runway at Leipzig/Halle Airport, authorities said Saturday. The drones were sighted at around 10 p.m. at the base in Mechernich, near the Belgian border. Military police were deployed, and police in Euskirchen are investigating. The Leipzig drone was found near Ukrainian Antonov cargo planes at the civilian freight and NATO logistics hub. The incident has revived concerns about drones penetrating NATO airspace and prompted debate over Germany’s readiness for new threats. Russia dismissed the Leipzig event as a fabricated provocation.
