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, Belgian news agency Belga reported late Sunday, 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.
The Bundeswehr has pledged Belgium’s support in defense against drones. In neighboring countries, drones have recently been appearing more and more at airports and military installations.

The drone was previously seen in Belgium
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.
Flight operations at Berlin’s BER airport were recently suspended for two hours. The reason is the sighting of drones at that location.
