Overview
- Skeyes said a drone was reported over Liège around 06:30 GMT, prompting a roughly 30‑minute shutdown before flights resumed in the second incident there this week.
- Public broadcaster VRT reported Liège also paused traffic around 10 p.m. Thursday for about an hour, and the airport primarily handles cargo operations.
- Brussels Airport diverted one flight to Amsterdam on Thursday night after a drone was detected, following separate disruptions on Tuesday evening.
- Authorities also logged sightings over Antwerp’s port area on Thursday night and above the Royal School for Non‑Commissioned Officers in Sint‑Truiden on Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Belgium convened its National Security Council; the interior minister said the situation is under control, and the defense minister pledged the National Air Security Center will be fully operational by January 1 as some officials blame Russian hybrid tactics, which Moscow denies.
