Two drones were observed over a military base in western Germany following the discovery of an explosive-filled device at Leipzig Airport. The German armed forces (Bundeswehr) confirmed the sighting on Friday evening at a facility in Mechernich, near Bonn, which houses components for the US-made Patriot air defense systems. A spokesperson for the Joint Command of the Bundeswehr reported that military police were present at the location before the incident was transferred to local law enforcement.
This latest incident marks another instance of drones being seen near military installations or airports across European nations that are providing support to Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, leading to increased scrutiny. Moscow has consistently denied any involvement in such activities. The presence of these drones over the German base raises ongoing questions regarding the security protocols and activities in the region.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the device and the aerial sightings.
