The European Union and Nato have pledged to intensify pressure on Russia after Germany accused Moscow of responsibility for a failed drone attack on Leipzig airport.
Berlin has blamed Russia for the incident, which has been described as a “new escalation” in Germany. The allegation comes amid warnings that Russia is acting with growing recklessness.
The airport involved was Leipzig airport, a major site in eastern Germany. The supplied information says the attack failed, but does not provide further details about the timing of the incident, the type of drone involved, or any disruption at the airport.
The response from the EU and Nato signals that the allegation is being treated as a serious security matter. Both have vowed to step up pressure on Russia following Germany’s accusation.
The latest known position is that Russia has been accused by Berlin over the failed drone attack, while the EU and Nato have said they will increase pressure in response to what has been characterised as an escalation on German soil.
