Leipzig Airport Fence Damaged as Two Men Turned Himself in After Vehicle Collision Two men, aged 20 and 32, surrendered after a car crashed through a security fence at Leipzig Airport. The incident follows a September drone attack that authorities blamed on Russia. German police announced on Monday that two men surrendered after a security fence on the grounds of Leipzig/Halle airport was smashed through by a vehicle the previous night. The individuals, aged 20 and 32, turned themselves in on Sunday night according to a statement issued by the Leipzig police. The younger man, speaking through a lawyer, said he lost control of a car he was driving near the airport and crashed into the fence. He then left the scene, called for the vehicle to be towed and did not possess a driver's licence. The 32‑year‑old admitted ownership of the car and gave no further details.Police Seize Vehicle And Launch InvestigationThe police seized the vehicle and the investigation is ongoing. The damaging incident was discovered around 11 p.m. on Saturday when emergency teams inspecting the fence found a large hole. Initial evidence suggested that a vehicle had plowed through the fence along a publicly accessible road leading to the airport premises. Emergency teams searched the grounds after the incident but did not locate any vehicle or intruder near the breach.The gate was re‑secured by nightfall, and airport staff were able to resume normal operations shortly thereafter. The German federal police remain concerned about the security implications of the event, noting that it occurred after an attack on the same airport earlier in the summer. In August, an explosives‑laden drone was launched at Leipzig/Halle airport, which German authorities blamed on Russia. Moscow denied the accusation.Leipzig police are also investigating how the fence was breached, seeking additional witnesses or surveillance footage that may clarify the circumstances. Authorities have emphasized that no casualties were reported and that the airport remained safe for travelers during the investigation. The incident highlights the broader security focus at Leipzig/Halle airport following last year's drone attack. German security agencies have increased patrols and installed additional sensors around the perimeter of the airport to prevent future security breaches.Suspects Held Pending Preliminary HearingThe police statement did not provide a name for the 20‑year‑old man or disclose whether he is a resident of the city of Leipzig. Media reports confirm that both men have been taken into custody pending a preliminary hearing. The investigation continues with law‑enforcement officials working closely with local authorities. For now, the airport remains fully operational.Travelers are advised to follow standard security protocols and report any suspicious activity to staff or security personnel.
