Following the discovery of a drone carrying explosives at Leipzig Airport, Germany's Federal Public Prosecutor's Office says it has taken over the investigation due to the particular significance of the case.

The authorities in Karlsruhe have stated that there are suspicions of an attempt to cause an explosion using explosives and of endangering air traffic.

An airport worker spotted an explosive-laden drone late on Tuesday on the southern runway at Leipzig/Halle Airport. According to security sources, it was located near a Ukrainian Antonov AN-124 Condor cargo aircraft. Federal Police specialists defused the explosive device.

German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said on Wednesday evening that the incident represented a "new quality of threat" and a "hybrid attack scenario."
