"We are not at war, but we are daily targets": Germany accuses Russia of attack on Leipzig airport

CNN Portugal1 September 2026 at 18:28

Germany accused Russia of carrying out an attack on Leipzig airport, making a statement that highlights the growing tension between the two countries. The German government stated that it is not at war, but that it is the target of daily attacks by Russia.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted to the German accusations through a statement to the Interfax news agency. The Russian response was firm, indicating that the country "will respond to all anti-Russian actions", demonstrating that the situation continues to escalate diplomatically.

The incident comes in a context of deteriorating relations between Germany and Russia, with Germany positioning itself as one of the supporters of Ukraine in the war against the Russian invasion. This accusation represents another episode in the ongoing geopolitical conflict between the West and Russia.
