- U.S. intelligence linked Russia to an explosive drone found at a German airport, according to a WSJ headline on the incident.
- Germany warned of a 'new threat' after explosives-packed drones targeted infrastructure, with drones subsequently sighted over a German military base two days after the airport incident.
