The National Security Council met to discuss the drone incident at Leipzig Airport. The council convened via teleconference under the chairmanship of Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU), according to government spokesperson Stefan Kornelius. Merz is in constant communication with Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) and other members of the government.
The National Security Council was established last year and is intended to consolidate responsibilities for internal and external security within the federal government.
