“We are investigating reports of drone activity in the vicinity of the airport. For security reasons, no aircraft are currently taking off or landing,” the portal quoted an airport spokesperson as saying.

The newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws reported that witnesses saw at least three drones over the Belgian capital. The Aviation Authority and the police are now searching for the operators of the drones.
