NATO will not tolerate hybrid actions against members, US envoy says

Whitaker said last month's attempted drone attack at Germany's Leipzig/Halle Airport, which Berlin has blamed on Russia, was more worrying than other recent incidents NATO members have faced.

NATO members must reject deliberate hybrid war actions, according to US envoy Matthew Whitaker. The ambassador emphasized that the United States will support countries facing such incidents. He highlighted the recent attempted drone attack at Germany's Leipzig/Halle Airport as more concerning than previous events involving Russian drones that strayed off course while targeting Ukraine.

Whitaker stressed that critical infrastructure, including energy assets, could be targeted and urged national authorities to monitor these assets. While the response to these challenges primarily lies with nations, the US supports them in dealing with these acts.
