Germany blames Russia for explosive drone plot at Leipzig airport

Germany says Russia provided the equipment and expertise for an explosive drone found at Leipzig/Halle airport on Aug. 4, attached to a Ukrainian cargo plane, though the device failed to detonate. The Wall Street Journal emphasizes Berlin’s rare public attribution and pledge to retaliate, while the Guardian details planned penalties, tighter controls and European support. Russia rejected the accusation and said it would respond.
