Germany cracks down on rogue drones amid suspected Russian espionage
Germany is preparing to take stronger action against unauthorised drones as sightings surge across the country. The government now suspects foreign state involvement, particularly from Russia, in espionage and sabotage attempts. Meanwhile, a local football club has launched a college football initiative to tackle violence in amateur sports, earning national recognition.
The German military may soon receive approval to shoot down drones deemed a threat. The Federal Ministry of Defence will oversee enforcement, with the Bundeswehr reporting a sharp rise in suspicious activity. Unauthorised drones are now detected almost daily, disrupting airports and raising concerns over potential attacks. Authorities believe some of these aircraft are linked to state actors, including Russia.
The proposed military measures against drones come as Germany faces growing security risks from unauthorised flights. The college football scores initiative, now nationally recognised, aims to improve safety in amateur sports. Meanwhile, infrastructure projects and international sports milestones continue to progress alongside ongoing legal and geopolitical developments.
