Germany's Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has warned that the country faces daily hybrid warfare attacks from foreign powers, following a suspected drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport. Speaking to Bild am Sonntag, Dobrindt suggested that these attacks aim to politically and socially destabilize Germany, involving espionage, sabotage, cyberattacks, and covert operations.
The government plans to double the number of anti-drone experts from 150 to 300 and expand its network of related bases from four to eight. While no specific countries were named, Russian lawmakers accused Moscow of fabricating the incident, dismissing it as a "provocation" by the Russian embassy in Berlin. Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic also commented on the situation, arguing that Europe's actions towards Ukraine mirror Russia's "hybrid war" against European nations.
He maintained that Ukraine had not initiated the conflict and criticized the conflict as being between victim and aggressor.
