German media reported Tuesday that the government was set to formally blame Russia for an incident involving an explosive-laden drone at a strategic airport last month. Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt were expected to address the media later in the day, according to Bild daily, news site Der Spiegel and other media.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. NATO member Germany, which supports Ukraine in its fight against Russia, has long accused Moscow of targeting it with a campaign of hybrid attacks involving espionage and sabotage -- charges denied by Russia. Germany has for months reported suspicious drone sightings over military and industrial sites, but the Leipzig incident on the night of August 4-5 raised the alarm as a drone found there carried explosives. Police used a robot to defuse the device found near a Ukrainian cargo plane, and another drone was reportedly found weeks later near the airport, also with traces of an explosive substance. The airport in eastern Germany plays a key role in the transport of military goods, including by the German military and NATO allies, and also serves as a base for Ukraine’s Antonov Airlines. Chancellor Friedrich Merz later said Germany had increasingly “found itself in the crosshairs of hybrid attackers”. But Berlin has so far refrained from blaming Russia while speaking only of the possible involvement of “foreign powers”.
