The drone was found near Ukrainian cargo planes before another object collided with a cargo aircraft in mid-air.

A drone carrying an explosive device has been found at a German airport, police say. A robot was deployed at Leipzig/Halle Airport after the device was spotted in the cargo operation area overnight, according to Saxony police. A second unidentified object collided with a cargo aircraft near the same airport. Minor damage was detected on the aircraft after it landed in Hanover. There have been a series of unauthorised drone flights in Germany in recent months over sensitive sites including military bases, airports, energy terminals, seaports and logistics companies. German airports are on high alert. Federal police have warned that the overflights could have been organised by Russian agents. A police spokesman told the BBC that the object discovered at Leipzig Airport overnight had been spotted close to parked Ukrainian Antonov transport planes. The object was examined with the assistance of the Federal Police and an explosive-detection robot. The Federal Police's Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit removed the detonator from the explosive device.
