German authorities have confirmed that recent drone intrusions were far more severe than initially reported.
Coordinated swarms struck multiple sites including the Thyssenkrupp naval shipyard in Kiel, the Kiel State Parliament, a power plant, and the Heide refinery which supplies jet fuel to Hamburg Airport.
Officials said this was not the work of hobbyists but a deliberate operation against critical infrastructure.
Investigators are treating it as a possible hybrid warfare campaign, raising alarm across NATO as similar drone activity has already been reported in Denmark and other countries.
While Germany has not blamed Moscow directly, the pattern matches Russian-linked pressure on Europe’s northern flank.
