Germany Investigates Russia-Linked Men Over Leipzig Drone Attack Attempt
(MENAFN) German authorities identify two men with alleged links to Russia as suspects in an attempted drone attack targeting a Ukrainian cargo aircraft at Leipzig Airport last month, according to reports.
Investigators are examining the activities of a Russian-born man who holds a Latvian passport and a Belarusian citizen who also possesses a Russian passport.
The Latvian passport holder is believed to have played a logistical and training role in the alleged operation. He reportedly entered Germany through Berlin Brandenburg Airport in late July, drove toward Leipzig in a rented vehicle and flew out of the country from the same airport two days before the attempted attack.
Authorities also suspect that the man maintains links with Russian intelligence services, according to reports.
Investigators reportedly traced the second suspect after discovering DNA evidence on one of the drones, an explosives-filled tin can and an antenna attached to a tree close to the airport.
The antenna is believed to have been installed to strengthen mobile-phone signals used to remotely control the aircraft, according to the reports.
