Published 2 September 2026

Germany’s interior and foreign ministers publicly concluded their investigation into the incident of 4–5 August, when a drone carrying explosives was found near a Ukrainian military transport aircraft at Leipzig-Halle airport. The formal attribution to Russian state structures rests on the drone’s configuration and the materials used, which German authorities state are consistent with the signature of other confirmed Russian hybrid operations; no additional forensic specifics were disclosed at the press conference.
