Police at one of Europe's busiest cargo hubs discovered a drone carrying an explosive device near Ukrainian cargo aircraft at Leipzig/Halle Airport in the early hours of Wednesday, putting the German facility on high alert overnight. Saxony police said an airport employee had spotted the suspect drone close to parked Antonov planes used by Ukraine, prompting an immediate security lockdown. Officers and explosives experts identified a drone carrying what they described as an 'unidentified explosive device'. A police spokesperson said the drone had been found near aircraft operated by Antonov Airlines, which has used Leipzig/Halle as a base to move the bulk of Ukraine's aerial cargo during the war. Investigators are still trying to establish what struck it and whether the incident is linked to the explosive drone found on the ground.
