Britain summons Russian diplomat over Leipzig/Halle airport drone attack
Britain summoned the Russian charge d'affaires to condemn an attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle airport last month after the German government said Russia was responsible. A UK spokesperson said Britain stands in full solidarity with Germany and described the incident as part of a pattern of Russian state attempts to undermine allied security. Russia denied the allegations, with its London embassy calling the claims fabricated and calling the British summons a coordinated provocation, warning that escalatory steps from Britain or other European states would receive an adequate and calibrated response. The exchange increases diplomatic tension between the states.
