EU and NATO Vow to Counter Russia After Berlin Points Finger in Drone Attack

Germany has accused Russia of a "new escalation" after a drone was launched toward Leipzig airport, prompting the European Union and NATO to pledge a stronger response against Moscow. The failed attack, which Berlin has blamed on Russia, has drawn sharp criticism from Western allies who say Moscow is becoming increasingly reckless in its actions. In a joint statement, EU and NATO officials said they would step up pressure on Russia, though they did not specify what new measures were being considered. The incident marks a fresh low in tensions between Russia and the West, as European leaders warn that such provocations cannot go unanswered. No casualties or major damage were reported in the Leipzig incident, but officials say the attempted strike signals a dangerous pattern of behavior that demands a unified response.
