DHL Plane Hits Unknown Object | Europe News

A DHL cargo plane made an emergency landing in Hanover after striking an unknown object during takeoff from Leipzig/Halle airport, sustaining minor nose damage. Authorities are investigating a drone found near the runway—examined by explosives experts and possibly containing a detonator—which led to a temporary runway closure and flight diversions. This incident follows a wave of unauthorized drone sightings across German airports, military bases, and logistics hubs, with officials hinting at potential Russian links, though Russia denies involvement. No direct connection to other drone incidents has been confirmed, and DHL is assessing impacts while operations have resumed.
