DNA traces found on an explosive-laden drone that crashed at Leipzig Airport have been linked to a sabotage incident involving warehouses earlier in 2024. German media outlets "Die Zeit" and "Bild" reported on the findings, suggesting a connection between the drone and the arson of a DHL logistics center in Leipzig.

The investigation into the warehouse sabotage has identified a total of 22 suspects. However, authorities have not yet specified any individual's direct involvement with the drone found at the airport. The nature of the sabotage and the specific targets remain under investigation.
