The German government formally blamed Russia for an incident involving an explosive-laden drone at a strategic airport last month. Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt held a press conference in which they accused a Russian intelligence service of being behind the drone incident at Leipzig airport on the night of August 4-5. After outlining Germany's response to the hybrid warfare, Dobrindt added that Germany is "not at war" with Russia. Russia will respond to Germany's "anti-Russian actions," Foreign ‌Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday, according to Interfax news agency. #dwnews #hybridwarfare #russia #germany For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwde
