Kallas califica el ataque fallido con drones en Leipzig de “terrorismo patrocinado por un Estado”

The European Union's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, has stated that a foiled drone attack at Leipzig-Halle Airport in Germany had "all the hallmarks of state-sponsored terrorism". According to Kallas, the incident bore the characteristics of an attack backed by a state.

The German government concluded that Russia was responsible for the attempted drone attack, which occurred on August 4. Three explosive-laden drones were detected around the airport, with one striking a cargo plane.

Kallas also mentioned that the EU is working on 1,600 sanctions listings related to Russia's military complex, with possibly more to be added. The bloc's foreign ministers are set to discuss further measures to put pressure on Moscow. Finland's Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen stated that the EU needs to explore all options for tightening sanctions, while Lithuania's Foreign Minister Kestutis Budrys said Europeans need to consider their options and respond to Russia's actions.
