German officials believe that Russian spies were behind a failed drone attack at an airport in Leipzig.
Recent reports suggest that a member of the GRU—which is Russia’s military intelligence agency—helped plan the strike. Security officials say the attack was stopped before it could do real damage, but it was a very close call.
Friedrich Merz, a top German politician, said that the country narrowly avoided a disaster. He believes the attack was prepared by Russian forces.
German investigators are currently looking into the incident. The evidence points to Russian involvement, as officials try to piece together how the plot was organized.
For now, the focus is on how someone was able to plan such an attack on German soil and what it means for the country's security. Authorities are working to make sure similar threats are stopped before they can start.
