German police are investigating a suspicious object found near a runway at Leipzig/Halle Airport on Wednesday after an overnight security incident that temporarily disrupted operations. The southern runway of the airport, which serves as a major hub for logistics group DHL, remained closed while specialists examined the object using explosives-disposal technology, a police spokesperson said. Authorities were also investigating reports of an unidentified flying object potentially linked to the incident.

Am Flughafen Leipzig werden ein unbekanntes Flugobjekt sowie ein verdächtiger Gegenstand entdeckt. Noch immer läuft der Betrieb nicht wieder normal.

Authorities say a drone sighting and the discovery of a suspicious object at Germany’s Leipzig/Halle Airport led to flight disruption during the night.
