German minister warns of daily hybrid warfare after drone attack

German minister warns of daily hybrid warfare after drone attack

Germany has a person called a minister whose job is to help keep the country safe.

His name is Alexander Dobrindt.

He said that other countries are trying to hurt Germany in sneaky ways every day.

This is called 'hybrid warfare'.

It can include spying, hacking computers, or secret attacks.

He said this after someone found a drone with explosives at an airport in Germany.

A drone is a flying machine with no pilot inside.

Some German leaders think Russia might be behind it, because Russia is in a war with Ukraine.

Russia says that is not true and calls the story made up.

Germany is also planning to study drones more to protect itself.
