Leipzig Airport in Germany was targeted in a drone attack. The German government blamed Russia for the incident.

Colonel Mendes Dias, military specialist at CNN Portugal, is analyzing this situation. He states that if Russia is involved in this attack, it would mean an attack on a NATO country.

Germany is a NATO member, so any confirmed attack attributed to Russia would constitute a significant escalation in the conflict. The article presents Mendes Dias's analysis of the implications of this accusation.
