Why It MattersCargo hubs that handle outsized and strategic freight now sit inside the physical-security perimeter of the conflict, pressuring European airports to harden drone defences around aircraft parking areas.
A Kremlin official contacted a counterpart in the German government after German authorities uncovered an attempted act of sabotage at Leipzig Airport, and warned that Leipzig would not be Moscow's last target, according to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal. The Russian official was not named.

On September 1, Germany officially accused Russia of attempting to sabotage the airport.
