New Facts: U.S. Intelligence Links Russia to Leipzig Drone
U.S. intelligence has assessed that the explosive-laden drone discovered at Leipzig-Halle Airport belonged to a Russian intelligence service. The device carried military-grade explosives and was found by an airport employee inside a secure cargo operations area near a Ukrainian Antonov aircraft.
German officials treated the find as a professionally planned act. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said it marked a new level of threat and not the work of amateurs, and he said a foreign state could be behind it. Germany’s National Security Council, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, met to review the incident.
