An unidentified flying object hit a a cargo plane at a German airport on Wednesday, as the discovery of a drone carrying an explosive device caused disruption and the suspension of flights.
An airport staff member discovered the drone in a secure area of the cargo flight operations near the airport’s south runway, according to a statement from state police in Saxony. A bomb disposal robot was deployed as part of the investigation, and the detonator attached to the drone was removed.
A second, unidentified flying object, collided with a cargo plane after the aircraft aborted its landing due to the runway being closed, police said. The plane sustained minor damage but landed safely at Hannover airport instead.
Leipzig/Halle Airport is one of the top cargo hubs in Europe. It has hosted Ukraine’s Antonov Airlines transport aircraft since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 destroyed their home base.
An investigation has been launched involving counter-terrorism police and state prosecutors.
Flight operations were temporarily suspended following the discovery of the drone just before midnight. The north runway was reopened later in the night, following an inspection, while the south runway remained closed into Wednesday.
Several aircraft, including a passenger plane, were forced to divert to other airports, according to authorities.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
