Explosive Drone Shuts Down Leipzig Airport | Sydney News

A drone packed with explosives was discovered near a runway at Leipzig Airport, forcing partial shutdowns and triggering a national security alert across Germany. The incident followed other unauthorized drone sightings at sensitive sites like military bases and ports. A diverted DHL cargo plane struck an unknown object mid-air, sustaining minor damage upon landing in Hanover. Authorities are now investigating potential links to Russian agents, especially after the drone was found near a Ukrainian cargo plane. Though the detonator was safely removed, the German Interior Ministry is ramping up coordination with security services as the investigation continues — while Russia denies any involvement.
