Both runways at Germany's Leipzig Halle Airport shut down overnight after a drone carrying explosives was found meters from a Ukrainian Antonov cargo plane. A second object struck a diverted freight plane. Germany's interior minister, Alexander Dobrindt, called it a hybrid attack scenario and a new quality of danger. Investigators are still searching for who was behind it, in what fits a wider pattern of drone incidents near Ukraine-linked logistics sites across Europe.
