Germany Facing "Daily" Hybrid Warfare Attacks, Minister Warns

Leipzig Airport is a strategic NATO hub, supporting military transports to Ukraine. It is also DHL’s largest European air hub and temporarily shelters some Ukrainian Antonov aircraft from Russian attacks. An armed drone was discovered near such a plane, German officials reported on Wednesday.

A spokesperson for Germany’s foreign ministry stated that Russia is behind continuous efforts to influence Germany in ways that undermine democracy and erode trust in politics.

The Kremlin has been accused of attempting to influence September’s elections in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg–Western Pomerania, areas in former East Germany with strong pro-Russian sentiment, where the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party might gain state-level power for the first time.

Isn’t it charming how Germany’s biggest worry these days is dodging drones while trying to keep the democracy afloat? I mean, who needs a peaceful night’s sleep when you can have hybrid warfare as your new bedtime story? 😅✈️
