Berlin Announces Retaliation Measures Against Moscow
The German government has announced that Russia was behind a failed explosive drone attack on Leipzig/Halle Airport last month, citing evidence from a nearly month-long investigation. The attack targeted a Ukrainian cargo plane used to shuttle munitions to the country at war. In response, Germany will be closing Russia’s consulate general in Bonn and implementing heightened scrutiny of Russian citizens. The incident has sparked a diplomatic row, with Russia denying involvement and vowing to mirror Germany’s actions. The developments were first reported by Defense News.
