Germany's Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the country faces a daily "hybrid war" involving espionage, sabotage, and cyberattacks, as foreign states seek to destabilize it. Dobrindt spoke after an explosive-laden drone was found at Leipzig airport, prompting some lawmakers to blame Russia. Two drones were also sighted over a German military base on Saturday, where Patriot systems are repaired. Dobrindt announced expanded drone research. US intelligence linked the Leipzig incident to Russia, where a drone was spotted near a Ukrainian An-124 aircraft. He said foreign states aim to subjugate Germany politically and socially.
