TL;DR Summary

Germany accused Russia of orchestrating the drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport last month, raised the threat level to high, and ordered the closure of the Russian consulate in Bonn and the Russian House in Berlin while tightening entry controls for Russians. U.S. and European officials said the drone carried military-grade explosives and appeared linked to Russian intelligence, and a second drone caused minor damage to a cargo plane near the airport. NATO welcomed Germany’s measures as part of a broader Western response to hybrid threats from Russia.
