> Germany will close Russia’s consulate general in Bonn on September 18 over an early-August drone incident at Leipzig/Halle Airport. Russian Ambassador Sergey Nechayev called Berlin’s allegations of Moscow’s involvement unfounded and absurd, while Russian officials warned that Germany’s move would bring an appropriate response and further damage bilateral ties.
