Attack: Did the explosive drone come from Moscow? Waiting for consequences
The Federal Government has so far not commented on a possible Russian background to the drone attack on Leipzig/Halle. An explanation is expected in the next few days.
The German government is set to reveal who is responsible for a foiled attack on Leipzig/Halle airport on August 4, in which a drone loaded with explosives was discovered near Ukrainian cargo planes. Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that the perpetrators will be identified soon and a response will follow. The government is reportedly preparing a package of measures against Russia, which is suspected of being behind the incident, although a spokesperson said it will not speculate on the perpetrators.
The incident is being investigated as a suspected attempt to cause a bomb explosion and a dangerous interference with air traffic.
