Investigation: Incident restricts operations at Leipzig Airport
Following a suspected breach of the security fence, police and federal police searched the airport grounds. The incident recalls a sabotage attempt in August.
The northern runway at Leipzig/Halle Airport was closed after a suspected breach of the security fence. According to police, a vehicle likely broke through the fence on Sunday night and a search of the area by federal and state police found no unauthorised individuals or suspicious items. The search will continue with additional forces and the runway remains closed.
This incident recalls a attempted attack on the same airport on August 4, when drone parts and explosives were found near Ukrainian Antonov transport planes. The German government blamed Russia for that incident.
