Kaja Kallas says Leipzig airport incident has "all the hallmarks of state-sponsored terrorism"

European Union foreign ministers gathered in Ireland and discussed possible punitive measures after an apparent drone incident at Leipzig airport that the bloc’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, described as bearing indications of state-sponsored terrorism. According to Kallas, the EU had called in Russia’s envoy, and individual member states were doing the same. German authorities attributed the episode to Moscow and announced the closure of a Russian consulate and termination of a Berlin cultural center contract. France also summoned Russia’s ambassador, with its foreign minister saying such an act would not go unanswered. Ministers weighed sanctions against about 1,600 people and entities tied to Russia’s military industry, reflecting Western concerns about Russian sabotage campaigns targeting Ukraine’s supporters.
