Everything We Know About the Explosive Drone Found at German Airport
Minor damage was observed on the aircraft after it landed in Hanover, the capital city of Lower Saxony, Germany.
The southern runway at Leipzig/Halle reopened on Wednesday at 6:46 p.m, local time, an airport spokesperson told TIME, adding that “flight operations have been running without restrictions” since then.
What have German officials said about the incident?
Dobrindt said Germany’s authorities are investigating what appears to be “a professional” explosive device. “We are not dealing with amateurs, but with professional actors,” he stated.
Saxony’s Interior Minister Armin Schuster told ZDF he would describe the incident as “a suspected attack scenario, because this is the first time we’ve had a drone that was also loaded with explosives.”
German authorities have stated that the perpetrators of the incident at the airport have not yet been identified.
Roderich Kiesewetter, a member of the German Bundestag, said he is “assuming” the incident was a “targeted attack attempt directed by Russia” and suggested Germany “initiate Article 4 consultations in NATO.”
