Background:

• German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius stated that the conversation of Bundeswehr officers had been intercepted after one of the attendees logged in through an unsecured line from a hotel room in Singapore.
• As reported earlier, the Federal Ministry of Defence of Germany initiated an investigation into whether the conversations of representatives of its Air Force – who, according to Russian propaganda, allegedly discussed blowing up the Crimean bridge with Taurus missiles – were intercepted.
• Subsequently, Germany's Defence Ministry confirmed that an internal conversation between German Air Force officers had been intercepted. German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius commented on the scandal, noting that it is a hybrid attack with the aim of misinformation.
