The day was dominated by the German government's formal accusation that Russia was behind the drone attack on Leipzig airport, leading to the closure of the Russian consulate in Bonn and the Russisches Haus cultural center. The story broke in the morning and intensified with a press conference by ministers Dobrindt and Wadephul in the afternoon, becoming the top headline across all major outlets. Concurrently, the discovery of explosive devices at a power substation in Brandenburg raised fears of a broader sabotage campaign. The Saxony-Anhalt election campaign continued, with the AfD's potential rise and the CDU's strategy remaining a secondary but persistent theme.
