美国情报机构认为俄罗斯对德国莱比锡机场上周发生的无人机爆炸装置袭击负责[1]。该无人机携带塑胶炸药，在乌克兰货机附近被发现[1]。美国官员表示这架无人机来自俄罗斯情报机构[1]，其上的炸药材料表明系军事制造商生产[1]。德国政府官员尚未公开指控莫斯科[1]，但同晚还检测到第二架敌对无人机[1]。
德国内政部长Alexander Dobrindt称这是"专业混合威胁场景"[1]。无人机在机场突防约4小时后才被发现并制止[1]。为应对威胁，德国计划将反无人机专家队伍从150人扩增至300人，基地数量从4个增至8个[1]。俄罗斯驻柏林大使馆否认了这些指控，称其为"仓促编造的挑衅"[1]。
American intelligence officials have concluded that Russia was responsible for a drone attack on Leipzig Airport in Germany last week, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal [1]. The unmanned aircraft, which carried plastic explosives, was discovered near a Ukrainian cargo plane at the facility [1].
While German government officials have not publicly accused Moscow, US officials have attributed the drone to Russian intelligence agencies [1]. A second hostile drone was detected at the airport that same evening [1]. According to CNN, US Department of Defense officials noted that the explosive materials on the drone indicated it was manufactured by a military contractor [1].
Germany's Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt characterized the incident as a "professional hybrid threat scenario" [1]. The drone breached airport security for approximately four hours before being discovered and stopped [1]. In response to the attack, Germany announced plans to expand its counter-drone capabilities, increasing specialist personnel from 150 to 300 and expanding operational bases from four to eight locations [1].
The Russian embassy in Berlin has denied the allegations, dismissing them as "hastily fabricated provocation" [1].
