The threat of Russian sabotage against German infrastructure and military assets has escalated, with the Bundeswehr raising its internal threat level to 'Significant'/'Serious'. This follows a claimed direct Kremlin warning to Germany of further sabotage after an incident at Leipzig airport, and the discovery of a drone and explosive device near Wunstorf airbase. Confidence in the overall escalation is Medium-High, though the direct Kremlin warning remains partially confirmed.
