Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Germany of seeking another war with Moscow, rejecting Berlin's allegation that Russia was behind a suspected drone attack at Halle Airport. Germany on September 1 linked Moscow to an August 4 incident involving an explosive-laden drone near a Ukrainian cargo aircraft, calling it a "hybrid attack." Berlin announced diplomatic measures, including closing Russia's consulate general in Bonn. The EU summoned Russian diplomats and weighed sanctions, with Kaja Kallas calling it state-sponsored terrorism. The dispute follows Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine, and Lavrov's remarks preceded Russia's parliamentary elections.
