Germany Blames Russia for Leipzig Airport Sabotage and Imposes Sanctions
The German government formally attributed an attempted drone sabotage at Leipzig Airport to the Russian state, labeling the incident "state-sponsored terrorism." Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced that Germany is now a daily target of Russian hybrid warfare. In response, the EU is preparing new sanctions and stricter entry requirements for Russian nationals. The airport serves as a critical logistics hub for NATO and Ukrainian military equipment, and the attack was assessed as a professional attempt to disrupt European aid.
