German Interior Minister Warns of Increased Drone Threats to Bundestag
Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has raised concerns regarding the heightened risk of drone attacks on the Bundestag and other constitutional institutions.
In a letter to Bundestag President Julia Klöckner, Dobrindt cited a significant increase in drone sightings over recent months, prompting heightened vigilance among security agencies. He emphasized the necessity for a constant drone defense capability to protect federal constitutional bodies, particularly in light of the evolving threat landscape. Dobrindt noted that the newly established drone defense unit of the Federal Police could only be utilized temporarily, while the primary responsibility for drone security lies with the Berlin state police. The Bundestag administration has reached out to Berlin’s Interior Senator Iris Spranger to clarify jurisdictional responsibilities and expedite effective drone defense measures.
