German police are investigating a security breach at Leipzig/Halle airport, where a vehicle reportedly crashed through a fence on Saturday evening.

The older man admitted ownership of the vehicle but provided no additional details. Both individuals are being questioned as this incident follows an earlier attack at the same airport over the summer, which German officials attributed to Russia, though Russia denies involvement.
