Explosive drone found at Leipzig airport, German police investigate

German counterterrorism authorities are investigating an explosive-laden drone discovered at Leipzig airport, which is identified as a key NATO base. US intelligence sources suggest that Russia was behind the incident. The discovery led to temporary suspensions of flights at the airport, and a DHL cargo plane sustained impact damage. In a separate but related development, Moldova has recalled its ambassador to Russia for consultations following a drone crash and explosion on Moldovan territory. President Maia Sandu of Moldova blamed this incident on Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine. The drone found at Leipzig airport was described as explosive-laden, prompting a counterterrorism investigation by German police. The involvement of US intelligence in suggesting Russian responsibility highlights the international dimension of the event. The impact damage to the DHL cargo plane indicates the potential severity of the drone's payload or its uncontrolled descent. Moldova's action of recalling its ambassador signifies a diplomatic escalation and a clear accusation against Russia regarding the drone incident on its soil. President Sandu's statement directly links the drone crash to the broader conflict initiated by Russia in Ukraine.
