  "summary": "Flights at Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany were disrupted overnight after a suspicious flying object was spotted near the airport shortly before midnight. According to Associated Press, several flights, including one passenger plane, were diverted to other airports.\n\nAnother object was found near a runway, prompting police to deploy an anti-explosives robot to investigate. The south runway remained closed on Wednesday morning, while flights using the other runway resumed shortly before 2 a.m., as per a police statement.\n\nThe disruptions occurred at a major cargo hub, with Euronews reporting that multiple flights were affected by the incident.",
