Incidents are increasingDrones have again attacked critical infrastructure in Belgium
In Belgium, drones are increasingly being found in sensitive facilities. After an incident at an important NATO base, nuclear power plants are now affected. The Bundeswehr has announced assistance.
Drones have once again been spotted at critical infrastructure in Belgium – this time at a nuclear power plant near Antwerp. This had no impact on Doel power plant activity, the Belga news agency reported on Sunday evening, citing operator Engie. A total of three drones were seen. According to Belga, the police did not want to comment on the incident.
Based on information, several drones were previously seen at Liège airport. Air traffic was then suspended for nearly an hour overnight.
Drones have recently been seen several times in Belgium, including at the Belgian Kleine-Brogel military base used by NATO. According to unconfirmed reports, the air base is one of the locations in Europe where US nuclear weapons are stored. Traffic was also temporarily stopped at Brussels and Liège airports due to drone sightings.
The German Defense Ministry announced last week that the Bundeswehr was supporting Belgium in drone defense. Belgium applied for support.
