Germany has accused Russia of attempting a drone attack on Leipzig airport, a major regional hub.
Germany’s Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt, alleged on Tuesday that Russia was behind last month’s drone incident at the airport, according to Al Jazeera.
He stated that Russia targeted the key airport with a drone laden with explosives, following a known pattern of “Russian hybrid operations.”
“Taken together, police investigations, patterns of the offences and intelligence findings establish Russian responsibility for the attempted attack,” he said.
On 4 August, police found a drone at the airport next to Ukrainian Antonov An-124 cargo aeroplanes. Tagesschau, a German news outlet, reported that the drone with the explosive device was found on the “South Runway” by an airport employee.
