Overview

• Munich suspended operations again Friday night after police patrols reported two drones near both runways, disrupting 6,500 passengers through diversions and cancellations before traffic resumed early Saturday.
• Germany’s interior minister Alexander Dobrindt urged that drones be shot down, with the government set to begin revising aviation security laws to enable military intervention.
• Prague’s Václav Havel Airport deployed anti‑drone systems, police snipers and a helicopter following an anonymous, unverified report of an approaching swarm, describing the operation as preventive.
• Vilnius Airport closed overnight due to a reported approach of suspicious balloons and reopened at 04:50 local time, with several arrivals diverted and one outbound flight canceled.
• European governments are weighing coordinated defenses, including an EU ‘anti‑drone wall’, as incidents spread across multiple countries; several states blame Russia, which denies involvement, and public attribution remains unconfirmed.
