In Germany, it is suspected that the attack on the Ukrainian An-124 in Leipzig was staged by Russia

Russia is suspected of trying to attack the Ukrainian An-124 Ruslan transport aircraft involved in the transportation of weapons at Leipzig airport. It is reported by the British The Guardian with reference to the German media.

After the incident with drones with explosives at Leipzig airport, investigators are considering several possible scenarios of what happened, including Russia's attempt to strike at Ukrainian equipment in Germany, Die Zeit newspaper reports.

The representative of the Green Party for the supervision of intelligence, Konstantin von Notz, called for an investigation to be conducted as quickly as possible and hinted at possible Russian involvement.

"If it turns out that the state is behind this action, it will be considered not just terrorism, but state terrorism directed against the Federal Republic of Germany and its citizens," he told Der Spiegel magazine.

The British newspaper says that Germany is the largest supplier of military aid to Ukraine and accuses Russia of a campaign of sabotage, espionage and disinformation against it, which Moscow denies.

According to the newspaper, the German police neutralized a drone with explosives at Leipzig airport, and the airport stopped work for a while. The DHL cargo plane, which was forced to abort the landing, collided with an unknown object, later it landed safely elsewhere, the newspaper writes.

"The suspected second unidentified flying object collided with a cargo plane after it took off again after the previous closure of the runway. After landing in Hanover, minor damage was found on the plane," the investigators said.

The anti-terrorist team of the Dresden Prosecutor's Office and the Saxony State Police are investigating both incidents. According to security experts, these incidents could lead "to a serious escalation of tensions with Russia if it is established that the Kremlin played a role in this."

The investigation reported that on Wednesday night, "an airport employee noticed an unknown drone with an explosive device in the security zone of the cargo operations area near the southern runway" of Leipzig airport.

According to the British edition, the airport in the east of Germany serves as a hub for the transportation of military cargo, including The German Armed Forces and NATO allies, as well as the base for the Ukrainian airline Antonov Airlines. A drone equipped with an explosive device was found next to a Ukrainian cargo plane, German media reported.

As EADaily reported, a drone with explosives was found at the German airport next to the An-124 Ruslan Ukrainian cargo plane. This was reported by the German media.
