Germany suspects Russian spy link in Leipzig airport drone plot: Report
German investigators have named two suspects in the drone attack on Leipzig/Halle airport, attributing one to Russian military intelligence and the other to a Belarusian petty criminal. Evidence from forensic technicians, including DNA traces and glove remains, led to the identification of the two men. The attack, which used three drones at the airport on August 4, involved about 1.8 kg of Semtex hidden in a vegetable can.
The investigation revealed that the main suspect, Oleg Le., entered Germany through Turkey and left for Serbia, while the Belarusian suspect, Andrei Ka., has a criminal record in Finland, including a hardware-store fire. German authorities have taken significant measures in response to the attack, including closing Russia's last consulate in Germany and scrapping an agreement with Moscow's cultural center in Berlin.
