A drone carrying explosives has been discovered at a German airport, police have said, in an incident involving the airport’s cargo area and a nearby Ukrainian aircraft.
According to the available details, the drone was found in the cargo section close to a Ukrainian aircraft. The discovery came before a separate suspected object was reported to have collided with a cargo aircraft while it was in mid-air.
The source material does not identify the airport, the airline or aircraft operators involved, or the precise timing of the events. It also does not state whether the explosives were armed, whether the drone had been flown into the area, or how it was detected.
No information has been provided on injuries, damage to the cargo aircraft, arrests or disruption to airport operations. It is also not clear from the available material whether police are treating the two incidents as connected.
The latest known position is that police have confirmed the discovery of the explosives-carrying drone and that another suspected object was involved in a mid-air collision with a cargo aircraft. Further official details would be needed to establish the circumstances and any security implications.
