Russian Espionage Attempt?: Federal Prosecutor's Office Steps In After Drone Found in Wunstorf

Key FactsFederal Public Prosecutor’s Office Reviews Possible Link After Drone Find

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: n-tv.de

The Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office is examining a possible connection, while the federal prosecutor is not investigating Wunstorf.

According to security sources, the unusually built drone had no explosive traces; similarities and its location raised suspicions of Russian espionage.

Investigators have searched difficult terrain since the beginning of the week; the search is scheduled to continue Friday.

In early August, an explosive-laden drone was found beside Ukrainian cargo aircraft at Leipzig/Halle Airport; Moscow denies this.

If a connection could exist, we will take a look at it.
— Said by a spokesperson for the Federal Prosecutor's Office (the Karlsruhe-based authority) regarding a potential link between the Wunstorf drone find and the Leipzig case.
