U.S. intelligence has reportedly linked the explosive-laden drone discovered at Germany's Leipzig/Halle Airport this week to the Russian government, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The drone was discovered Tuesday night inside a secure area of the airport, just meters from a Ukrainian Antonov cargo aircraft, carrying what German investigators reportedly determined was an explosive device with a defective detonator that failed to function. The discovery forced the airport to suspend operations overnight. Authorities are also investigating a second suspected drone that a DHL cargo aircraft reportedly struck after executing a go-around due to the airport closure, with the aircraft later landing safely despite damage to its nose.
The development comes one day after The Wall Street Journal reported that new U.S. intelligence assessments warn Vladimir Putin could test NATO's resolve through limited attacks ranging from sabotage and cyber operations to a small-scale incursion into alliance territory. Western officials have increasingly warned that Russia is conducting probing operations against NATO infrastructure, with previous incidents including drones entering Romanian airspace and Russian missiles landing in Poland.
Starting to think Brooks Koepka gamed the system perfectly. Never cared all that much about non-majors anyway, so now he gets paid nine figures to play different non-majors, then still shows up at the majors and contends.
