Bus driver stops explosive-laden drone at major German NATO logistics hub
The drone was spotted at Germany's Leipzig/Halle, the main operational base for NATO's Strategic Airlift International Solution
A bus driver at Leipzig/Halle airport in Germany reportedly stopped an explosive-laden drone on Tuesday, potentially preventing an attack at the major NATO logistics hub. The driver kicked the low-flying drone, causing it to crash, an act described by lawmaker Detlef Seif as "very daring and courageous, but also very dangerous." Federal prosecutors have launched a counterterrorism probe into the incident, which involved a drone equipped with professional explosives and a detonator. The drone was found near Ukrainian Antonov cargo planes. Leipzig/Halle airport serves as NATO's Strategic Airlift International Solution (SALIS) base and is used by logistics companies like DHL.
