Slovak President Peter Pellegrini on Wednesday expressed full solidarity with Germany following the August drone incident at Leipzig/Halle airport. According to German authorities, Russia stands behind the incident. STVR (Minute by Minute) ↗
The incident involved unmanned aircraft at one of Germany's major airports. Investigators subsequently found another drone west of the airport on August 14. German authorities therefore link the case to a security risk and possible Russian involvement.
The head of the European Union's diplomatic service, Kaja Kallas, also reacted to the incident. Before the meeting of EU foreign ministers, she stated that the August attack on Leipzig/Halle airport bears all the hallmarks of state-sponsored terrorism. Pellegrini's statement thus aligned with European reactions to the incident, which raised questions about the security of critical infrastructure. ta3.com ↗
Further developments will depend on the investigation by German authorities and on how EU member states assess similar incidents in the context of security threats associated with Russia.
