Germany blames Russia for Leipzig airport drone attack

Germany blames Russia for Leipzig airport drone attack

Germany's Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport last month followed a "well-established pattern of Russian hybrid operations in Europe." A drone with an explosive device was found on 4 August near Ukrainian cargo planes, but it didn't explode due to a faulty detonator. Germany's Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul announced the closure of Russia's consulate in Bonn.
