Drone with 5G router and SIM cards linked to Russian intelligence servers; confirms ties between Leipzig attackers and Russian secret service.
A drone involved in a hybrid warfare incident was found to contain a 5G router and two SIM cards. The German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) was able to reconstruct the data streams from the drone, which led to servers previously used by Russian intelligence agencies in other operations. This connection supports earlier findings linking the Leipzig attackers to the Russian secret service.
Confidence: Medium
The ongoing use of drones equipped with telecom technology reportedly linked to Russian intelligence servers indicates a hostile hybrid operation involving technical espionage and sabotage capabilities in German territory, with corroborated ties to known aggressors.
