German authorities responded to a security incident at Leipzig/Halle Airport after an explosive drone was found hovering near a parked cargo aircraft. The drone was successfully disarmed by bomb disposal teams, but the discovery triggered a broader search for potential secondary threats. Local police and airport security are investigating the origin and intent behind the drone, which appears to have been deliberately positioned near the aircraft.
