**Western officials believe Russia has captured Ukrainian drones and could potentially use them in false-flag attacks against NATO countries,** The [Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/russia-is-bombarding-europe-with-a-new-wave-of-gray-zone-attacks-c5eab3fa) reports. **Such an operation could make an attack appear Ukrainian, complicating attribution and creating political confusion within the alliance**

The warning comes amid what Western governments describe as a growing wave of “gray-zone” activity in Europe, including drone incursions, sabotage and cyberattacks. Reuters previously reported that Baltic intelligence assessments envisage a possible attack on infrastructure using Ukrainian-made drones; however, no specific operation, target or timetable has been publicly confirmed.

Among recent incidents under investigation is the explosive-laden drone that struck the wing of a parked Ukrainian An-124 at Leipzig/Halle Airport in August but failed to detonate. German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt called the incident a “hybrid attack,” although German authorities have not publicly attributed it to Russia.
