Germany accuses Russia of failed bomb drone attack in Leipzig

The German Government has formally accused Russia of being responsible for a drone bomb attack at Leipzig airport. The attempted attack, which occurred on August 4 and targeted Ukrainian cargo planes, was widely suspected to have been carried out by Russia. German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt and Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul presented evidence in Berlin that they say points to Russian involvement.

The accusation was made despite the German federal government having previously avoided making such a claim due to its seriousness.
