- An airport employee found the drone on the southern runway near a Ukrainian Antonov AN-124 Condor on Tuesday night and, according to dpa information from security sources, brought it down with a kick.
- Federal Police specialists removed the detonator and defused the device, which was later deliberately detonated because the detonator was reportedly defective.
- The Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office took over the investigation over suspicions of attempting to cause an explosion and dangerously interfering with air traffic.
- The search for a possible second drone is continuing while the northern runway remains closed, and a possibly affected cargo aircraft was found to have minor damage after landing in Hanover.
All of this does not point to amateurish conduct. We are dealing with a professional hybrid threat scenario that we must continue to address.— Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) said this at a press conference at the Leipzig/Halle airport

- The proposed FIFA Forward Enterprise was intended to manage the commercial and operational sides of competitions, including the men's and women's World Cups, with 20% to be sold to private investors.
- UEFA said its member nations would boycott FIFA events, while CONCACAF rejected the plan, the AFC called for an urgent governance review and CONMEBOL sought additional information.
- The plans led to the resignation of senior adviser Carlos Cordeiro, while FIFA chief operating officer Kevin Lamour portrayed the initiative as being driven by one person.
- Infantino said he intended to reunite the parties involved in the coming days and weeks, while the AFC welcomed the withdrawal and called for consultation and dialogue with football bodies.
This was an outrageous suggestion. The idea that it could even be brought forward shows that, in my view, (Infantino) is the wrong man to lead the organisation.— Andy Burnham, UK Prime Minister, said on Friday in response to FIFA's private-investment proposal for the World Cup.
