Germany blamed Russia after a drone carrying an explosive device was discovered at the Leipzig airport in August.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
A national ‘cyberdome’ would be established, with a network of digital sensors to detect and intercept attempted hacking attacks
Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt told the Bild am Sonntag newspaper, which first reported the plans, that Russia’s hybrid attacks had become a part of daily reality.
Russia has long rejected allegations it is carrying out operations in western Europe and has denied involvement in the German airport attack, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov saying the accusations were “the start of a real war”, according to state news agency TASS.
According to the ministry spokesperson, police mobile drone defence capabilities would be expanded under the plan, with rapidly deployable counter-drone units stationed in cities to protect the airspace above critical transport hubs and government districts.
