Overview

• Flights resumed progressively on Saturday after a second precautionary halt late Friday following new drone sightings over the Munich airfield.
• Airport officials say more than 6,500 passengers were affected across the two nights, with 23 arrivals diverted, 12 flights canceled on Friday night, and dozens of departures unable to take off.
• Police deployed helicopters and reported two near-simultaneous sightings close to both runways, but investigators have not identified the drones or their operators.
• Belgium opened an investigation after drones were detected over the Elsenborn military training area near the German border, extending a pattern seen recently in Denmark, Norway and Poland.
• Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt plans a law enabling Bundeswehr support to shoot down hostile drones, as EU and NATO accelerate joint detection and interception efforts with no confirmed attribution disclosed.
