Suspicious drone disrupts traffic: possible attack on airport under investigation

A security alert was triggered at Leipzig/Halle Airport after a drone carrying an unknown mass and a detonator was discovered near the runway. The device was suspected to be an explosive apparatus, prompting authorities to send pyrotechnicians and a remote-controlled robot to handle the situation. The airport’s cargo area was temporarily separated from the passenger terminal. A cargo plane had to abort landing and later collided with an unidentified object approximately six kilometers from the airport before safely landing in Hanover with minor damage. Police from Lower Saxony have classified the incident as potentially related to national security and are investigating the possibility of sabotage. Air traffic was suspended until 1:55 AM, with flights rerouted. The southern runway remained closed throughout the morning due to police investigations, but the airport did not close entirely, and no danger to the public has been reported.
