NATO and EU coordinate response to Russian hybrid attacks after Germany attributes Leipzig airport drone incident to Russia

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are coordinating a joint response to Russian hybrid attacks, following Germany's formal attribution of an August 4 drone sabotage incident at Leipzig airport to Russia. Germany has ordered the closure of the Russian consulate in Bonn and the Russian House in Berlin. NATO reaffirmed solidarity with Germany, and the EU is preparing additional sanctions. This comes amidst broader concerns about Russian aggression against Europe and NATO, including a foiled Russian operation targeting subsea fiber-optic cables in the Arctic.
