Airport alert: Nato: Russian claim about Leipzig investigation is absurd

The NATO has rejected Russia's claim that it questioned Germany's findings on the discovery of explosive drones at Leipzig/Halle airport. A NATO spokesperson said Russia's assertion that no evidence of Russian involvement was found is "absurd". According to NATO, experts have concluded that Russia was behind the hybrid attack on August 4.

Russia's foreign ministry had claimed there was a "Ukrainian connection" and no evidence of Russian involvement, but Germany holds Russia responsible. The incident involved a drone discovered near a Ukrainian cargo plane at Leipzig/Halle airport.
