Prime Minister Edi Rama has expressed Albania's solidarity with Germany following the incident with the drone equipped with explosives at Leipzig/Halle Airport, describing the event as an act of Russian aggression against Germany and the security of Europe.

In a reaction on social media, Rama stated that Albania stands by Germany, Ukraine and all NATO allies, while expressing support for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

"A drone carrying explosives at Leipzig/Halle Airport is not a gray area. It is an act of Russian aggression against Germany and against the security of Europe, as the German Government itself now makes clear. Full solidarity with my friend Friedrich Merz, the German Government and the German people. The Chancellor has the right to respond with clarity and force. Hybrid warfare cannot be rewarded with hesitation. Albania stands firmly with Germany, Ukraine and all our allies in NATO. We are stronger when we act as one," Rama writes.

Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has stated that the alliance is fully on Germany's side following the August 14 incident in Leipzig, which he described as a hybrid attack linked to Russia.

Rutte announced on the social network X that he had held a conversation with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, during which they discussed recent developments and Berlin's response to the incident.

"NATO stands in full solidarity with Germany after the Russian hybrid attack in Leipzig on August 14. The evidence is clear," Rutte declared, while welcoming the measures taken by the German authorities.

According to him, NATO will continue to increase its capacities to prevent threats and protect member countries from hostile actions.

He specifically mentioned the recent incidents in Leipzig, but also other similar cases reported in the alliance's territory.

Rutte also stressed that Moscow's efforts to create fear, weaken the unity of NATO countries and hinder support for Ukraine will not achieve their goal.

He reiterated that NATO's support for Ukraine remains unchanged, while the commitment to the collective defense of member countries continues to be one of the alliance's top priorities.

Meanwhile, German authorities have provided new details about the incident at Leipzig airport. According to media reports, the attempted shooting down of a Ukrainian Antonov transport plane was more serious than initially reported.

One of the drones used is suspected to have contained explosives, while investigations have raised suspicions that several unmanned aerial vehicles may have participated in the operation.

The situation has become even more worrying after reports by Welt am Sonntag about the discovery of hidden weapons near Berlin.

According to the assessment of the German domestic intelligence service BfV, the weapons may have been intended for people linked to Russian espionage and for possible violent operations.

So far, the Russian Embassy in Berlin has not given an official reaction to these accusations. Moscow has previously denied involvement in sabotage, espionage or assassination operations in Western countries, considering the accusations as part of an anti-Russian campaign.
