AP reported that a drone carrying explosives was found late Tuesday at Leipzig/Halle Airport and later defused, and that Germany's top security official described the incident as a new threat quality. The Guardian reported that investigators said the drone was detected in the airport's cargo operations security area near the south runway and that a suspected second unidentified flying object collided with a cargo aircraft after the runway closure.
