NATO and the European Commission have warned that Russia is becoming increasingly reckless, following Germany's accusation that Moscow was behind a failed drone attack at Leipzig and Halle Airport.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen described the incident as a new escalation on European Union soil directly attributed to Russia.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte also expressed full solidarity with Germany, saying the alliance, which includes the United States, stands firmly behind Berlin.
German authorities say police investigations and intelligence findings indicate that Russia was responsible for the incidents at the airport.
The allegations relate to a reported attempt on August 4 to target a Ukrainian cargo plane with an explosives laden drone. One drone was reportedly defused by a robot, while a second is believed to have collided with another cargo aircraft. A third drone was reportedly discovered at the airport ten days later.
