Flights Diverted at Brussels Airport After Unconfirmed Drone Sightings
Flights headed to Brussels Airport were delayed or rerouted late Thursday following unverified reports of new drone sightings, as indicated by data from flight tracking platform Flightradar24.
According to Reuters, the information about drone activity has not been independently confirmed. The situation prompted precautionary measures as authorities continued to assess potential risks in the region.
“Belgium had called an emergency meeting of key government ministers and security chiefs for Thursday after drone sightings forced closures of airports and a military air base on Tuesday evening in what the defence minister called a coordinated attack.”
The Belgian government is maintaining heightened alert after several drone-related incidents disrupted national air operations earlier in the week.
