India, Sept. 2 -- A suspected Russian attack on German soil has pushed already strained relations between Berlin and Moscow into even more dangerous territory. Germany has formally accused Russia of being behind an attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport, saying the incident was part of a wider pattern of Russian hybrid operations across Europe. The accusation, announced on September 1, follows an investigation into an explosives-laden drone discovered near a Ukrainian cargo aircraft at the airport on August 4. German authorities say intelligence findings and evidence gathered during the investigation point towards Russian involvement.
