Germany Warns of Increased Risk of Violent Conflict with Russia Amid Hybrid Attacks
Germany's foreign intelligence chief, Martin Jaeger, warned that the country faces a heightened risk of violent conflict with Russia amid an aggressive 'shadow war' involving drone attacks, cyberattacks, and sabotage. He cited an attempted drone attack on Leipzig airport in August as an example. German authorities accuse Moscow of hybrid warfare tactics, while Russia denies intentions to attack NATO countries. The warning also evokes historical tensions between Germany and Russia dating back to both World Wars.
