UAV found at Leipzig-Halle Airport

On August 4, a UAV believed to contain an explosive device was found near a Ukrainian transport plane at Leipzig-Halle Airport in Germany.

US intelligence claimed that the characteristics of the explosive-laden UAV found were "specific" to Russian military intelligence.

Germany blamed Russia for this incident. Recently, it announced measures such as the closure of the Russian Consulate General in Bonn as of September 18 and the termination of the contract related to the Russian House in Berlin.
