German police investigate fence breach at Leipzig airport

FRANKFURT, Oct 18 (Reuters) – German police said on Sunday that they were investigating a breach at the Leipzig/Halle airport where a vehicle appeared to have driven through a fence.

• In August, investigators discovered an explosive-laden drone ‌near a runway at the airport, an event that German officials later said Russia was responsible for. Russia has denied the allegations.

• German police initially investigated the suspected breach on Saturday evening.

• They said they hadn’t found suspicious objects or unauthorized personnel but would be carrying out further searches on Sunday.

• The airport’s north runway remains closed to traffic.
