SGThe European Union has summoned Russia's top diplomat in response to a drone attack in Germany, which EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas described as having 'state-sponsored terrorism' characteristics. The incident involved an explosive-laden drone at Leipzig airport, raising concerns about a broader Russian sabotage campaign targeting Ukraine's supporters. EU leaders are considering sanctions against 1,600 individuals and entities tied to Russia's military industry. France and Lithuania have joined in condemning the attack, with Germany taking retaliatory measures by closing a Russian consulate and ending a cultural center contract. Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the sanctions as a 'serious mistake' that harms the German people.
