Germany Names Two Russian Suspects in Leipzig Airport Drone Incident
German authorities confirmed the identification of two Russian suspects linked to an attempted attack at Leipzig Airport using a drone loaded with explosives last month. The first suspect holds Belarusian nationality in addition to a Russian passport and is believed to have entered the Schengen Area with an Italian visa via Minsk. His DNA was found at the airport, and he has a history of previous crimes in the Baltic states. The second suspect possesses both Latvian and Russian passports; he was responsible for coordinating training and logistics. It is believed that he rented a car to head to the airport before leaving Germany two days prior to the attempted attack. Their identities were established through DNA traces found inside the airport and on the drone, which was discovered in a secure area of the airport near an Ukrainian cargo plane. The incident prompted a large-scale security response, including the closure of the Russian consulate in Bonn and a Russian cultural center in Berlin. The German side accused Russia of being responsible for the incident. Moscow responded by summoning the German chargé d'affaires and described the German measures as a serious error.
