> Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service says German law enforcement is seriously examining a possible Ukrainian link to the recent drone incident at Leipzig/Halle Airport, while not acknowledging it publicly. The agency questions whether Berlin has the political will to announce impartial findings. A drone carrying an improvised explosive device was found beside a Ukrainian cargo aircraft on August 4 and defused the next day.
