The day was dominated by the Leipzig drone attack aftermath, as German authorities identified two suspects with alleged ties to Moscow, one of whom reportedly entered the Schengen area with an Italian visa. This development, reported by ANSA and La Stampa, added a domestic angle to the crisis, prompting Tajani to confirm verification. EU and NATO leaders, including von der Leyen and Rutte, reiterated readiness to respond, while Putin dismissed accusations as domestic politics. The story led across outlets throughout the day, with a secondary thread on Tajani's warning about possible Russian interference in Italy's 2027 elections, countered by Salvini's dismissal of 'anti-Russian anxiety'. In the afternoon, the Veneto region approved an end-of-life law, becoming the first center-right region to do so, drawing significant coverage. Later, Giulia Presutti's resignation from hosting Report dominated evening headlines, with her citing a desire to help the program.
