Two drones were spotted over a German military base Thursday, two days after an explosive-laden drone was found at Leipzig/Halle Airport, prompting an investigation. The Bundeswehr confirmed the sighting over its Mechernich base around 10 p.m., deployed military police, and said Euskirchen police opened an investigation. Police did not immediately comment. The Leipzig/Halle drone was defused; the minister called it a “new quality of danger.” The airport aids Ukraine; Western officials suspect Russian sabotage, which Russia denies.
