Germany's government formally blamed Russia on Tuesday. The accusation is about a drone attack at Leipzig Airport.

Germany also announced new actions against Russia. These include closing Russia's consulate in Bonn, Germany.

The incident happened on the night of August 4-5, 2026. A drone carrying explosives was found near Ukrainian cargo planes.

Investigators believe the drone was targeting a Ukrainian aircraft. The device was found and defused before it exploded.

Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt made the accusation. They said a Russian intelligence service was behind the attack.

Officials pointed to the drone's design and explosives as evidence. Minister Dobrindt said the attack was planned professionally.

Russia has not yet responded to the accusation. Moscow said it would respond later.

Reports say this is Germany's first such accusation against Russia. Leipzig Airport is used for Ukraine-support flights and NATO supplies.
