Investigations in Lower Saxony: Suspected explosive material traces after drone found in Wunstorf
After finding a drone near an airbase in Lower Saxony, investigators are examining a suspicious substance. This is what is known about it so far.
A search for clues near a German military base in Wunstorf, Niedersachsen, has uncovered suspicious material, including possible explosives, near parts of a drone that was found earlier. The material was discovered a few meters away from the drone and investigators are working to determine if it is connected to the drone. The drone, which was not commercially available, was found in a hard-to-reach area of the Region Hannover and may have crashed and broken into several pieces.
Authorities are investigating possible links to a similar incident at Leipzig/Halle airport, where a drone with explosives was found in early August, and Russia has denied responsibility for that incident. The origin of the Wunstorf drone remains unknown, but it may have been lying on the ground for up to two years before being discovered by a farmer.
