- At Leipzig airport in Germany, a bus driver kicked an explosive drone out of the air, according to a lawmaker cited by Reuters.
- US intelligence linked the drone at Leipzig airport to Russia (WSJ), and Germany separately warned of a "new threat" following the incident.
Why it matters: Germany's explicit "new threat" warning, paired with US intelligence linking the drone to Russia, elevates the Leipzig incident from a local security breach to a national-security concern for Berlin. Civilian airports emerge as the clear vulnerability in Germany's airspace — one a bus driver had to improvise to address.
