Plane near explosive drone found at German airport was carrying ammunition, media reports say
Forensic experts found that the explosives attached to the drone were of a high military grade, reported the outlets, which also included broadcasters NDR and WDR, citing a confidential police report
A Ukrainian cargo plane carrying military ammunition was reportedly parked near an explosive-laden drone found at Germany's Leipzig/Halle airport on Tuesday night. Forensic experts determined the drone's explosives were of high military grade, and a technical defect prevented its detonation, according to media reports citing a confidential police report. This incident, which German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt called a "hybrid attack," has escalated a counterterrorism investigation at the critical infrastructure airport, a major NATO logistics hub. Authorities are also searching for debris from an unidentified object that damaged another freight jet mid-air near the airport the same night. A lawmaker, Roderich Kiesewetter, attributed blame to Russia, though perpetrators remain unidentified.
