Germany identifies suspects in Leipzig airport drone attack, formally blames Russia
German authorities have identified two suspects — a Latvian citizen and a Russian citizen from Belarus — in the attempted drone attack on Leipzig/Halle airport that Germany has formally attributed to Russia.

The incident has triggered an expanded German response, including new military aid to Ukraine, expanded intelligence powers for the BND, EU sanctions pressure, and the closure of Russia's consulate in Bonn.
