A car is suspected of ramming a fence at Leipzig/Halle airport, damaging a section that lies next to several parked Russian cargo aircraft. A large police operation took place during the night, but no unauthorized persons were found on the airport grounds. One of the airport's two runways has been closed.

On 4 August a drone loaded with explosives was discovered at the airport near Ukrainian cargo aircraft. In the same incident a second drone collided with an aircraft in the air. Ten days later a third drone loaded with explosives was found near the airport.
