Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz is expected to address the drone incident at Leipzig/Halle Airport, linking it to Russia’s ongoing hybrid warfare in Europe.

The incident underscores Russia’s aggressive tactics, with military explosives found at the airport marking a dangerous escalation in its operations against NATO member states, including Germany and Romania.

Romania has reported a surge in drone activity near its eastern border, raising concerns about potential violations of NATO airspace as Russia intensifies its military actions amid the Ukraine conflict.
