TL;DR Summary

German security officials identify a Belarusian disposable agent and a Russian GRU-linked operative as the main suspects in the August Leipzig-Halle drone attack. The plan involved about 1.8 kg of Semtex across three drones and could have destroyed parts of the airport, but a detonator failed. The suspects entered Europe via Latvia and Turkey/Serbia, with the Russian handler directing explosives and logistics; investigators are coordinating with EU partners and the FBI as the probe expands.
