Leipzig drone bomb was found near Ukrainian plane carrying ammunition, say police
Germany investigating whether foreign state involved as minister says ‘ripped’ detonator stopped device going off
A catastrophe with multiple casualties was possibly narrowly averted by the discovery of a drone carrying explosives at Leipzig airport, German officials said, as they examined whether a foreign state could be behind the plot.
One of the Ukrainian aircraft next to where the bomb drone was found was loaded with military ammunition, according to a classified police report quoted by the public broadcasters WDR and NDR and the Süddeutsche newspaper.
