Third drone and explosives found near Leipzig airport; Merz vows consequences
–
Neutral summary
German investigators found a third drone and about 50 grams of a substance suspected to be a military explosive (possibly hexogen) in Kabelsketal, west of Leipzig/Halle Airport. The discovery was made on August 14, ten days after the first incident, when an explosive-laden drone was found near the airport, which is used by NATO and Ukraine's Antonov Airlines for military transport. Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the government has evidence pointing to those behind the attack and that those responsible for hybrid attacks on Germany will face consequences. According to Spiegel, a second drone likely struck the engine of a DHL cargo plane.
