Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Berlin of wanting war with Russia again, amid escalating tensions following Germany's accusation that Moscow sent an explosive-laden drone to Leipzig airport. Germany announced the closure of Russia's last consulate in Bonn and the Russian cultural center in Berlin by September 18, in response to the alleged drone incident at the key military hub. Lavrov compared the move to pre-World War II actions and criticized Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Russia retaliated by announcing the closure of the Goethe Institute and summoning Germany's charge d'affaires, denouncing anti-Russian actions and statements from German authorities.
