In Saxony, 13 security-related drone overflights of critical infrastructure and other facilities requiring special protection were recorded in the first half of the year. This is according to the Ministry of the Interior’s response to an inquiry from Rico Gebhardt, a member of The Left party who specializes in domestic policy.
Eight cases involved the transportation and traffic sector, four involved the energy sector, and one involved the government and administration sector. Leipzig and Northern Saxony were particularly affected, with four incidents each. For security reasons, the ministry did not provide further details on the facilities involved.
