A drone carrying explosives was found near a Ukrainian plane at Germany's Leipzig/Halle Airport late Tuesday, prompting officials to warn the incident represented "a new quality of danger," authorities said Wednesday. Police said an airport worker found the first explosive drone near the airport's south runway with "an unknown explosive device." In the second incident, an unidentified flying object collided with a cargo aircraft that had aborted its landing at Leipzig/Halle Airport because of the runway closure. "Drone sightings, drone threats, including in a hybrid context, are something we know from the past," he said.
