Germany is accusing Russia of trying to launch a drone attack at an airport in Leipzig. The incident happened back in August, but it is just coming to light now.
Officials say a drone packed with explosives was found near some cargo planes at the airport. Luckily, it did not cause any damage or hurt anyone. But the fact that it was there at all has German leaders very concerned.
German investigators are now saying that Russia was behind this move. They believe the drone was part of a larger plan to cause trouble in Europe.
This news comes at a tense time. Many people are worried about how much influence Russia is trying to have in European politics right now. Some reports suggest that as tensions grow, far-right political groups in Germany are gaining more support.
For now, the German government is looking closely at the details of the attack. They want to make sure it doesn't happen again. It is a scary reminder of how close the conflict in the region is getting to everyday life in Europe.
