Zelenskyy rails at lack of anti-missile defences amid deadly Russian attack on Kyiv – Europe live

German state prosecutors including units working on extremism and terrorism prevention have taken over the investigation into the Leipzig incident, confirming the presence of an “explosive” device on one of the two drones involved.

They said that “a drone carrying an unknown explosive device” was discovered by an airport employee in the cargo zone, fitting the media describing of a location near a Ukrainian cargo plane. It was dealt with using a bomb disposal robot.

A second “unidentified flying object” collided with a DHL plane, with “minor damage” confirmed upon landing in Hanover, they confirmed.

“There is no danger to life or health of passengers or airport staff. Passenger air traffic is not affected,” they stressed.

They added “no further information can be provided at this matter due to the ongoing investigation.”
