Germany to blame Russia for Leipzig drone sabotage, announce new sanctions

Germany's Chancellor Merz is reportedly set to publicly accuse Russia of an attempted drone sabotage at Leipzig airport, where explosive-laden drones were found, and to announce new sanctions. This marks an escalation in Germany's attribution of hybrid attacks to Moscow, moving from internal security measures to formal state-level accusations and punitive action. The move could heighten tensions and prompt retaliatory measures, though the evidence basis remains undisclosed.
