Hamburg airport briefly suspended flight operations on Saturday evening after a suspected drone sighting; the 15-minute halt ended when no drone was found. Service resumed afterward. Police received a report of an unknown flying object around 7:50 p.m. Officers searched but found nothing. A witness photo was reviewed, and authorities said it likely showed a hot air balloon. The incident follows a recent drone alert at Leipzig/Halle airport, where an explosive-laden drone was found near Ukrainian transport planes. Germany's federal prosecutor is investigating.
