German Prosecutors Probe Suspected Drone Attack at NATO Cargo Airport

A big airport in Germany called Leipzig/Halle found something scary late on Tuesday.

Workers discovered a drone carrying real explosives and a detonator.

Investigators think someone wanted the drone to blow up.

Luckily, the bomb did not go off, and a newspaper says a technical problem stopped it.

Another drone may have hit a cargo plane near the airport, but that plane landed safely with only small damage.

This airport is very important because it helps NATO, a group of countries that work together to stay safe.

NATO uses the airport to fly supplies and equipment to protect its member countries.

Germany's Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt, called this a "hybrid attack," which means a sneaky kind of attack that mixes different methods.

The top national investigators in Germany are now working on the case to find out who is responsible.
