Germany accuses Russia of hybrid attack with drones at Leipzig airport

SOL1 September 2026 at 19:17

Germany formally accused Russia of being behind a hybrid attack with explosive-laden drones targeting Leipzig airport. German authorities stated that the drones contained explosive material and that the operation represents a threat to the country's national security.

In response to this accusation, Berlin announced the closure of the Russian consulate in Bonn and the Russian House in Berlin, as a retaliatory measure against Moscow. These decisions mark a significant escalation of diplomatic tensions between the two countries.

Russia, for its part, categorically rejected the accusations made by Germany and stated that it would respond to the measures adopted by Berlin. Moscow has not yet specified the nature of this response, but the incident promises to intensify the diplomatic conflict between the two nations.
