Germany considers Russian sabotage threat "significant"

The German Armed Forces have raised the threat level of Russian sabotage against military installations to 'significant' due to recent incidents. This assessment, confirmed by the German Ministry of Defense, indicates that Russia likely has both the capability and intent to target German military facilities. The aim of potential sabotage operations is believed to weaken Germany's support for Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict with Russia. Recent events include a drone crash near Wunstorf airbase and an attempted drone attack on Leipzig airport, which is crucial for logistics related to military aid to Ukraine. Increased sightings of unauthorized drones near critical infrastructure have also been reported.
