Explosive Drone Found Near Cargo Plane at Germany's Leipzig Airport
Police said the drone carried an explosive device and investigators are examining a possible second air incident that caused minor damage to a cargo plane.
- On Wednesday, authorities discovered a drone carrying an explosive device near a Ukrainian Antonov cargo plane at Leipzig-Halle Airport, with police deploying a robot to remove the detonator from the tarmac.
- Leipzig-Halle Airport serves as a critical logistics hub for DHL and a transport base for Ukraine's Antonov Airlines, heightening security concerns amid a series of unauthorized drone overflights at German airports.
- Separately, a DHL cargo aircraft collided with an unknown object mid-air while climbing away from the airport, sustaining minor nose damage before landing safely in Hanover approximately six kilometres away.
- Following the discovery, several aircraft including a passenger flight from Mallorca were diverted overnight, though regular operations resumed on the northern runway while the southern runway remained closed for investigation.
- German authorities are investigating potential links to a broader campaign of espionage and sabotage, which officials have suspected Russian agents of orchestrating; the Kremlin denies involvement and NATO is monitoring the situation.
