Munich Airport Halts Flights After Confirmed Drone Sightings

The confirmed sightings triggered a precautionary shutdown that underscores growing concern about hybrid tactics targeting critical infrastructure in Europe.

Overview

  • Operations were suspended on Friday night after new suspected drones were reported, an airport spokesperson told dpa.
  • Federal Police confirmed two drones near the north and south runways shortly before 23:00 local time and said investigations are ongoing.
  • European officials have warned of an escalating hybrid threat environment, with Denmark’s prime minister calling the security climate the most dangerous since World War II.
  • Separately, Hamas said it accepted parts of President Donald Trump’s Gaza proposal in principle, including the release of all hostages, while calling for more negotiations.
  • Trump urged Israel to halt bombardment to enable hostage releases, and in an unrelated U.S. case Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Sean Combs to 50 months in prison.
