German authorities investigate explosive drone at Leipzig airport as Moscow faces air strikes

German authorities are investigating an explosive-laden drone discovered at Leipzig/Halle Airport, situated near Ukrainian transport aircraft carrying military supplies. German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt noted that a state actor was likely behind the incident, which investigators are treating as a potential hybrid attack aimed at causing an explosion. Terrorism experts cited Russia as the primary suspect.

Meanwhile, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that Ukrainian forces launched at least 184 drones toward the Russian capital and its surrounding region on Tuesday. Russian air defense systems reportedly intercepted the majority of the incoming drones, with 18 shot down as they approached the city. Ukrainian forces have increasingly targeted logistics hubs and infrastructure within Russian territory in recent weeks.
