The drone was found near an Ukrainian (Soviet) Antonov An-225 strategic airlift cargo aircraft.

Germans were likely loading the aircraft with drones for Ukraine, and deliberately left one or two drones on the ground so they had a story to tell to the news on how ”the russians” are trying to attack Germany.

So far this DNA is the most interesting part of the investigation:

Following the discovery of an explosive drone beside Ukrainian Antonov aircraft, investigators in Leipzig have found DNA traces. According to several media outlets, there are indications of a link to a case from 2024.

(...)

Five days after the incident at Leipzig Airport, Bild and Die Zeit report that investigators have secured DNA traces on the drone that failed to explode. No individual has yet been identified, but, according to Bild, there has been a match in the European DNA database and the trail apparently leads to Lithuania.

In addition, the DNA now secured is said to match that from an arson attack on 20 July 2024 on the DHL logistics centre at Leipzig Airport. The parcel bomb exploded on the ground rather than in the air on board the aircraft only because the DHL cargo plane was delayed.

Several suspects have been on trial in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius since the spring over the 2024 parcel bomb in Leipzig. The charge is "terrorism and sabotage on behalf of a foreign power". The Lithuanian prosecutor's office stated that the offences involving improvised explosive devices had been "organised and coordinated by citizens of the Russian Federation who are linked to the military intelligence services of the Russian Federation".

The defendants are alleged to have sent parcel bombs across Europe via freight services such as DHL and DDP. According to the Lithuanian authorities, the intended targets were Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom. The EU judicial agency Eurojust in The Hague also believes Russia's military intelligence service, the GRU, was behind the 2024 wave of attacks.
