> Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed Germany is moving toward “a real war” after Berlin accused Moscow of a hybrid attack involving explosive-laden drones at Leipzig Airport. Germany said the attempted August attack was linked to Russia; one drone damaged a cargo plane. Berlin says it is facing hybrid warfare, not an actual war.
