Explosive Drone Found at Leipzig Airport | Dublin News

A drone loaded with Semtex explosives was discovered near Ukrainian military cargo at Leipzig Airport — a critical NATO and Ukraine logistics hub — just before midnight, narrowly avoiding disaster thanks to a faulty detonator. The drone, allegedly brought in from France and undetected by airport defenses, hovered between massive cargo planes for hours. Security footage suggests it was modified to evade detection, and its placement near sensitive military shipments is no accident. Air traffic briefly halted when a DHL plane collided with a second drone — possibly equipped with a camera. Officials classify this as a “hybrid threat,” pointing squarely at Russia as the likely culprit, echoing past attacks linked to Russian intelligence. This isn’t an isolated incident — Leipzig has been targeted before, including a firebomb explosion via DHL in July. With investigations underway, tensions are rising as this latest breach underscores the escalating danger of state-sponsored sabotage targeting global supply chains.
