> Ambassadors from the 27 EU countries have held restricted discussions on a major hybrid attack that could cause numerous casualties, Politico Europe reports. The talks cover emergency response teams, EU funding for an affected state and public communication. They reportedly accelerated after an explosives-laden drone was found at Leipzig airport in August, while some capitals warned the effort could duplicate NATO’s role and slow decisions.
