On Tuesday evening, flights were suspended at Brussels and Liege airports in Belgium after multiple drone sightings raised significant security concerns. The first sighting occurred shortly before 8 p.m. local time, prompting a precautionary halt to all flights, with many incoming planes diverted and departures halted. After a brief reopening, Brussels airport was closed again due to further drone activity. Belgium's Defense Minister, Theo Francken, indicated that the incidents might be part of a broader strategy to instill panic and destabilization within the country. This incident is part of a troubling trend, as drone sightings have been reported at various European airports, including Copenhagen and Oslo, and there have been suspected incursions in Polish and Romanian airspace, raising alarms about security in the region.
