In a stark warning, Germany's Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has asserted that the country is subjected to daily hybrid warfare attacks from foreign powers. This statement was made following the discovery of an explosive-laden drone at Leipzig/Halle Airport last Tuesday. The minister implied that these hostile actions are designed to politically and socially undermine Germany by instilling fear. Dobrindt did not specify any particular countries implicated in these alleged attacks. The incident has prompted discussions about enhancing Germany's counter-drone capabilities, with plans to double the federal government’s team of anti-drone experts from 150 to 300 and increasing the network of related bases from four to eight. Recently, two drones were also spotted over a German military base site in Mechernich, and a drone exploded near the Trans-Balkan gas pipeline in Bulgaria on Saturday. While the exact origin of these incidents remains unclear, they have renewed concerns about potential spillover effects from Russia's ongoing conflict with Ukraine on neighboring NATO states. Both NATO and European Union officials have previously blamed Russia for similar drone sightings, accusations that Moscow has consistently denied.
