Flughafen Leipzig/Halle: US-Medien – Sprengstoff-Drohne könnte Russland gehören
Wer steckt hinter dem Vorfall mit der Sprengstoff-Drohne auf dem Flughafen Leipzig/Halle? US-Medien zitieren nun Beamte der Vereinigten Staaten, die Informationen zu einem Land haben.
On Friday, a bomb-laden drone was discovered near Leipzig/Halle Airport, sparking speculation that it could be linked to Russia. Major US media outlets, such as the Wall Street Journal and CNN, reported on this potential Russian connection, quoting anonymous US officials and defense experts. The Wall Street Journal cited US officials with knowledge of intelligence reports, while CNN quoted a European defense official, both maintaining that the drone was likely of Russian origin.
The drone was found near Ukrainian transport aircraft that had arrived at the airport, and it was detonated by a worker before it could cause further harm. Subsequently, an aircraft was forced to abort its landing after colliding with an unidentified smaller flying object, which was possibly a second drone. While some experts pointed to Russia as the likely culprit behind the bomb-laden drone, Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) took a more cautious stance, describing the incident as a "hybrid" attack from "foreign powers."
