Flight disruption as drone carrying explosives found at German Airport

German state prosecutors are investigating a drone carrying an explosive device found at Leipzig/Halle Airport.
The discovery near the southern runway caused significant flight disruptions, diversions, and the closure of runways.
The Central Office for Extremism Saxony (ZESA) and the state counter-terrorism unit are involved, and the drone's detonator has been removed.
The incident follows a series of unauthorised drone overflights at German facilities, which federal police suggest could be linked to Russian agents.
The drone was reportedly found close to a Ukrainian Antonov cargo plane, which has used the airport as an operating base since Russia's full-scale invasion.
