German leaders have raised concerns about the possibility of sabotage or hybrid warfare being involved in a fiery cargo plane crash in Lithuania. The incident occurred as the plane was flying from Leipzig, Germany, to Vilnius Airport, crashing just a few kilometers from the runway. The plane skidded on the ground before hitting a residential home.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz mentioned the potential for hybrid warfare but emphasized the need for a thorough investigation before making any accusations. Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock also highlighted the volatile nature of the situation, prompting questions about whether the crash was an accident or a deliberate act.
