German police raised the alarm at an airport overnight after an explosives-laden drone was found near a Ukrainian cargo plane and another aircraft collided with an unknown flying object nearby before landing safely. All flights to Leipzig-Halle airport were diverted for several hours from around midnight as police deployed a bomb-disposal robot to remove the detonator from the explosive in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) found on the tarmac.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. The airport in eastern Germany plays a key role in the transport of military goods by the German armed forces and NATO allies. It also serves as a base for Ukraine’s Antonov Airlines. Video footage from a local news agency showed the bomb disposal robot near an Antonov plane painted with the yellow and blue of the Ukrainian flag. The words “Be Brave Like Kherson” were written on the side – a reference to a Ukrainian region battered by Russian strikes. Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany Oleksii Makeiev blamed Moscow. “Who else could it be but Russia?” he said on Welt TV. Authorities have said the investigation is ongoing. Moscow had made no comment so far. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the incident spells “a new level of danger”, following previous sightings of drones believed to be on surveillance missions or aiming to sow fear. The incident and the technology did not point “to an amateurish approach. We are dealing here with a professional hybrid threat scenario,” he told journalists at the airport where police had earlier destroyed the drone.
