German investigators have reportedly discovered a third drone and suspected explosive material connected to an attempted attack at the Leipzig/Halle airport. According to reports from NDR, WDR, and the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the discovery was made on August 14, ten days following the initial incident. The latest findings, detailed by media outlets including Telegraphen, indicate that the third drone was located in the western section of the airport grounds.
Furthermore, investigators also recovered approximately 50 grams of a substance suspected to be military-grade hexogen at the scene. The incident occurred following an earlier event on August 4th, when an initial drone loaded with explosives was involved in the attempted attack at the airport. Security sources cited in multiple reports suggest that Russian intelligence may have been involved in the plot.
These allegations have been officially denied by Moscow. The ongoing investigation by German investigators continues to build the timeline and scope of the threat. The presence of multiple sophisticated devices, including the recovered drone and the explosive residue, suggests a coordinated effort.
Authorities are continuing their efforts to piece together the details of the operation. The focus remains on determining the origin and purpose of the devices discovered at the airport, while maintaining a neutral reporting standard regarding the attribution of the attack.
