Germany has accused Russia of a cyber-attack on air traffic control and attempted electoral interference, and summoned the Russian ambassador.
A foreign ministry spokesman said Russian military intelligence was behind a “cyber-attack against German air traffic control in August 2024”.
The spokesman also accused Russia of seeking to influence and destabilise the country’s federal election in February this year.
The spokesman said that Germany, in close co-ordination with its European partners, would respond with counter-measures to make Russia “pay a price for its hybrid actions”.
There was no immediate response from Russia.
