Germany Accuses Russia of Hybrid Attack Involving Drone Strike on Leipzig Airport, Threatens Retaliatory Measures

Germany accused Russia of conducting a hybrid attack that included an attempted drone attack on Leipzig airport. In response, Germany announced plans to close Russia's consulate in Bonn as part of its retaliatory measures. The move comes amid growing tensions between the two nations.

Germany claims Russia orchestrated a 'hybrid attack' that involved an attempted drone strike on Leipzig airport. The attack, which was thwarted, is being attributed to Russian-backed forces. The German government has stated it will take 'retaliatory measures' against Russia, including the closure of its consulate in Bonn. Lithuanian National Radio and Television reported the accusations and the planned response. DW, however, noted that while Germany holds Russia responsible for the drone attack, critics argue that Berlin's response has been too cautious.
