German authorities foil drone attack plot linked to Russian military intelligence

German investigations, citing secret documents, link a drone attack in Leipzig to a Russian GRU officer and a broader Europe-wide sabotage campaign. While specific details of the plot and the full extent of GRU involvement remain unclear, this marks a significant escalation in suspected Russian covert operations against critical infrastructure on German soil. The attribution is based on investigative reporting and leaked documents, not official government confirmation, leading to a medium confidence level.
