Russland: Dobrindt kündigt Taskforce gegen hybride Angriffe an
Russland attackiert die Anrainer der Ostsee zunehmend mit Drohnen, warnt der Innenminister. Die Staaten wollen sich deswegen zur Drohnenabwehr zusammenschließen.
Flensburg saw German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announce plans for a taskforce to combat hybrid attacks, in response to Russia's growing threat and the increasing number of hybrid attacks. In Flensburg, Dobrindt highlighted the need for a rapid response taskforce to enable quick exchanges, particularly in the Baltic Sea region.
He stressed that all participating countries face mounting threats, with the potential for these attacks to escalate in the coming months. Dobrindt emphasized the establishment of a shared security space, aiming to transform the current threat environment into a secure area. He noted that hybrid threats are pervasive, affecting the Baltic Sea region in multiple ways, including through drones, water-based attacks, and cyber assaults on critical infrastructure.
The taskforce aims to draw conclusions from threat assessments and implement corresponding measures. Dobrindt also mentioned a recent attempted attack using a bomb-laden drone on the Leipzig airport, though the German government has not yet attributed the incident to any state. He stressed that a unified European stance is crucial for any counteraction, stating that Germany needs a cohesive position in response to the covert war waged by Putin.
