Drone with explosive device strikes cargo plane at German airport
Drone carrying explosive device causes disruption at major German airport
A drone carrying an explosive device was found at Leipzig/Halle Airport, prompting a temporary suspension of flights and triggering a counter-terrorism investigation. The discovery came after a separate unidentified flying object collided with a cargo plane, forcing it to divert. German state prosecutors, along with extremism and counter-terrorism units, are investigating the incident, which Interior Minister Armin Schuster called a 'very serious security incident.' The airport, a major cargo hub, has been on alert due to recent unauthorized drone activity.
Saxony's Interior Minister Armin Schuster described the overnight developments as a 'very serious security incident.'

Does the article read poorly to anyone else?
A drone carrying an explosive device sounds like a situation where you ground all flights and figure out what’s going on but it reads pretty casually. Maybe I misread it? I would assume a drone with an explosive device would be more serious than a “disruption”.

Insane censorship in the comments. The flaggers (NAFO, army unit 77, etc.) are directly responsible for the fact that the AfD will win the next elections. But perhaps that is the goal.
