Germany's Bundeswehr raises internal threat level over Russian sabotage for the first time
Germany's armed forces classified the threat of Russian sabotage against troops and facilities as "significant," the second-highest level on its internal threat scale, per a Bundeswehr assessment reported by WDR and Sueddeutsche Zeitung. A defense ministry spokesperson confirmed the assessment. The reassessment followed the mid-September discovery of a crashed drone carrying high explosives near the Wunstorf air base in Lower Saxony.
