A total of three drones were said to have been spotted. According to Belga, the police declined to comment. In addition, several drones were reported to have been spotted again at Liège airport earlier in the evening, halting air traffic for less than an hour.
Recently, there have been several sightings of drones in Belgium, including over the Kleine Brogel military base, which is also used by NATO. According to unconfirmed reports, this airbase is one of the locations in Europe where US nuclear weapons are stored. Last week, drone sightings also temporarily halted traffic at Brussels and Liège airports.
Germany’s defense ministry announced last week that the German armed forces will help Belgium defend itself against drones. Belgium itself requested support.
