“I think that our intelligence agencies, both the State Security Department […] and our military intelligence, are quietly doing their job, analysing [information] and providing analytical products to politicians. We, as politicians, as decision makers, take into account the information that is supplied when adopting various political decisions,” Sinkevičius told reporters Tuesday.
The head of Government said that politicians currently do not have more data than what had been reported.
“I learned about this specific case from the media, just like the public did. But this does not mean that various intelligence agencies’ products will not follow, deepening knowledge and providing more information,” said Sinkevičius.
German newspaper Die Zeit on Monday reported that a drone carrying explosives was found at Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany, with DNA traces that had previously been recorded in Lithuania.
According to German media, this DNA was also detected when investigating arson at a DHL logistics centre in Leipzig in 2024.
At the same time, the second unidentified flying object was noticed in the airport that collided with another plane.
Based on the report, the explosive-laden drone found at Leipzig/Halle Airport last week hit a wing of a Ukrainian An-124 cargo aircraft. However, explosives failed to detonate.
The publication stated that so far DNA is not linked to a specific person. There is no evidence yet connecting the latest incident at Leipzig airport with the parcel that caught fire at a DHL logistics centre.
As reported, the parcel self-ignited at the DHL logistics centre in Leipzig in July 2024. Investigators later determined that the parcel contained and incendiary device. Similar incidents occurred in the United Kingdom and Poland.
In March 2026, the Prosecutor General’s Office of Lithuania brought charges against five people in relation to these incidents.
