Unknown drones force temporary airport shutdown in Netherlands

According to Ukrinform, Dutch Minister of Defence Ruben Brekelmans reported this on the social network X.

“Air traffic at Eindhoven Airport has been restored. The Ministry of Defence has taken measures; however, for security reasons, we cannot yet share additional information on how these measures are being implemented. Disrupting air traffic with drones is unacceptable. Therefore, we are taking action,” the statement reads.

In his earlier post, Brekelmans wrote that “several drones were detected near Eindhoven Airport. Civilian and military flights have been suspended as a result. The Ministry of Defence’s counter-drone systems are on standby to intervene. Police and military police are also working at the site. Further investigation is ongoing, and where necessary, we are taking action.”

As reported by Ukrinform, drones had previously been spotted over a military airbase in the Netherlands.
