An explosive-laden drone was found at Leipzig/Halle airport near Ukrainian cargo planes; German prosecutors are investigating suspected attempted bombing and air-traffic interference. Officials have not publicly blamed Russia; Interior Minister Dobrindt called it a hybrid attack by "foreign powers." Last year Chancellor Merz accused Moscow over drone sightings. Experts cite Russia's capabilities and threats but also possible false-flag operations. A 2024 fire at a DHL logistics hub in Leipzig was linked to Russia. Moscow denies involvement, suggesting Ukrainian provocations. Suspects in Lithuania are on trial over alleged GRU-linked parcel bombs.
