🇩🇪🇷🇺⚡️ — German authorities have foiled a suspected Russian plot to assassinate Stefan Thumann, the head of German drone manufacturer Donaustahl, according to Die Zeit.

German intelligence was warned by a partner intelligence service in late 2025 that Thumann faced a serious threat. Investigators allege two suspects, a Ukrainian man and a Romanian woman, conducted surveillance of Thumann's home and company headquarters between December 2025 and March 2026 on behalf of Russian intelligence.

German authorities arrested the suspects in March 2026 in coordinated operations in Spain and Germany. They have since been charged with acting as agents of a foreign intelligence service.

Thumann is now under enhanced police protection.

Trump told donors in the Oval Office: "At the end of the day, we need to elect JD."

🇺🇦🇩🇪⚡️ — The Ukrainian Antonov cargo aircraft parked next to the explosive-laden drone discovered at Leipzig/Halle Airport was loaded with military ammunition, according to Tagesschau.

The ammunition had been transported from France to Leipzig and was likely awaiting onward shipment. Investigators believe the drone was found hovering between two Antonov cargo aircraft before "contact between the drone and an employee" occurred, resulting in it landing on the apron.

CCTV footage shows the drone entered the airport from the south at around 7:28 p.m. on Tuesday and remained on the airfield for several hours without being detected by the airport's counter-drone systems.

Separately, investigators are examining whether a DHL cargo aircraft carrying dangerous goods collided with another object—possibly a second drone—while aborting its landing. The aircraft landed safely after diverting but sustained damage. A biological swab tested negative, ruling out a bird strike.

German authorities continue to investigate who was behind the suspected attack attempt.

What a disgrace that, in recalling the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki recently, not once did Japan’s Prime Minister or any other Japanese official bother to mention who did it.

🇨🇴🇺🇦⚡️ — Colombian armed groups are increasingly seeking to acquire drone warfare expertise from Ukraine, with fighters using their advanced battlefield tactics in connection with criminal and insurgent organizations when returning home, according to FT.

They learn how to operate FPV attack drones, integrate explosives, and use encrypted communications—skills they will subsequently use when they return to Colombia.

Ukrainian officials acknowledge they have identified and removed some Colombian volunteers with links to cartels and other criminal groups.

Drone attacks by Colombian armed groups have risen sharply, with the Defense Ministry recording 264 attacks between 2024 and 2025. In response, Bogotá is tightening drone import restrictions and developing a $1.6 billion counter-drone shield.
