Overview
- All takeoffs and landings at Brussels Airport were suspended after a drone was reported just before 20:00 and resumed around 21:00, according to Belga citing air traffic service Skeyes.
- Temporary airspace restrictions led to some diversions, with RTBF reporting reroutes to Liège, Maastricht and Cologne.
- Near the Kleine-Brogel military airfield, citizens reported six drones and police confirmed two, with a helicopter deployed to track the objects, local officials said.
- Belgian Defence Minister Theo Francken previously noted repeated incidents at Kleine-Brogel and said an attempted jamming operation was unsuccessful as a pursued drone evaded capture.
- Authorities have not disclosed the drones’ origin or operators, and investigations by police and military are ongoing.
