Explosive-laden drone placed near Ukrainian An-124 at Leipzig/Halle airport

An explosive-carrying small drone was reportedly found on the ground inside a secured airport area near a Ukrainian An-124 in Germany, suggesting a shift from nuisance drone incursions to sabotage/IED-style drone employment against parked aircraft far from the front. If confirmed, it indicates a new operational pattern: using small drones as covert explosive devices in rear-area/European critical infrastructure targets.
