Germany suspects Russian intelligence involved in airport 'hybrid attack'
German security officials suspect a member of Russian military intelligence helped plan an attempted "hybrid attack" involving an explosive-laden drone at an airport last month, a report said Saturday.
German security officials suspect that a member of Russian military intelligence was involved in planning an attempted hybrid attack at an airport last month. According to reports, two suspects have been identified with high probability: a Belarusian citizen, Andrei Ka., and a Russian, Oleg Le.
The suspect Oleg Le. is believed to have been responsible for the preparation and logistics of the attack at Leipzig/Halle airport and is attributed to the GRU, Russia's military intelligence agency, by German investigators.
Le. entered Germany through Türkiye, landing at Berlin Brandenburg airport, and later left from the same airport for Serbia, before returning to Russia. Russia has denied any involvement in the incident.
