Wegen einer Drohnensichtung am Hauptstadtflughafen Berlin-Brandenburg (BER) ist der Flugbetrieb dort für 45 Minuten komplett eingestellt worden. Inzwischen sei die Sperrung bereits wieder aufgehoben worden, sagten Sprecherinnen des BER und der Bundespolizei der dpa.

Um 20 Uhr sei eine Drohne gesichtet worden. Daraufhin habe die Deutsche Flugsicherung zunächst die Nordpiste für Starts und Landungen gesperrt, um 20.20 Uhr dann auch die Südpiste. Um 21.05 Uhr war demnach die Sperrung wieder aufgehoben. Zuvor hatte auch die „Bild“-Zeitung berichtet.

An keinem anderen deutschen Flughafen sind im ersten Halbjahr so viele Drohnen gesichtet worden wie am Hauptstadtflughafen BER. 28 solcher Flugobjekte registrierte der Tower in Schönefeld in den ersten sechs Monaten, wie die Deutsche Flugsicherung (DFS) auf Anfrage mitteilte. Das war eine Sichtung mehr als im selben Zeitraum am größten deutschen Flughafen in Frankfurt am Main.

Open Questions

  • Wer hat die Drohne gesteuert?
  • Wird es eine Untersuchung geben?

Escalation in the Tigray conflict: TPLF rejects peace agreement and threatens to overthrow the government

The TPLF has canceled the peace agreement in Ethiopia and is threatening to overthrow the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. This comes in the context of a civil war that ended in 2022 and claimed around 600,000 lives. The TPLF ruled Ethiopia for decades before Abiy took office and is the dominant political force in Tigray. Abiy's PP party won the 2021 elections, but human rights groups criticized them as unfree and unfair.

USA invites Putin to the G20 summit in Miami – ceasefire remains uncertain

The US has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in Miami in December to facilitate talks on a possible ceasefire in Ukraine. While US Secretary of State Marco Rubio speaks of an interest on both sides in a limited cessation of fighting, Russia continues to reject a partial ceasefire and insists on a comprehensive solution. Ukraine has signaled its readiness for immediate and unconditional ceasefires, including partial agreements for energy or grain deliveries. Despite diplomatic efforts, there are currently no concrete plans for further negotiations and fighting continues with attacks on Kiev.
