Two men have been arrested in connection with a hole discovered in a fence near Leipzig Airport, German news agency dpa reports, citing security sources. The men were reportedly practising for a driving test when they lost control of their vehicle. [1]

A hole was found in the airport fence over the weekend. Initial findings suggested a vehicle had driven through it, but a search overnight from Saturday to Sunday found nothing; searches continued on Sunday. [1]

The incident comes after three drones were found near the airport in August. One contained a non-functioning explosive charge and was close to aircraft belonging to Ukraine, the report says. Germany later blamed Russia for that incident and pledged to strengthen security at critical infrastructure. [1]
