A diplomatic spat has escalated with the announcement of cultural center closures. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that centers belonging to Germany's cultural institution would be shut down in several cities. This move follows a decision to close Russian facilities in response to an alleged plot.

A drone laden with explosives was discovered, leading to accusations and retaliatory measures. The situation has led to a series of closures, with further details available from official sources. The closures are seen as a response to actions taken against Russian facilities, with officials indicating that this move is necessary to maintain dignity.
