Overview
- Belgian officials reported repeated overnight drone sightings over Kleine-Brogel, with the defense minister calling the flights directed at the base rather than simple overflights.
- On Sunday evening security forces tracked four drones that were later lost as they moved north toward the Netherlands, according to the local mayor and Belga.
- Jamming attempts had no effect, and a police helicopter and ground units pursuing a drone lost contact after several kilometers, prompting expanded investigations.
- Belgium plans meetings with local police in the coming week to assess the threat and pursue the operators, while NATO referred inquiries to national authorities.
- Drone activity also disrupted civilian flights in Germany, with operations halted for about 45 minutes in Bremen on Sunday and nearly two hours at Berlin’s BER on Friday; no attribution has been confirmed, though some governments suspect Russia in similar cases.
