The Dutch army fired at some drones above the Volkel airbase

The Dutch army opened fire on drones that were flying over the Volkel airbase in eastern Netherlands, according to a statement from the Ministry of Defense. The incident occurred on Friday evening, between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM, when the base's security personnel reported the presence of the drones.

The air forces reacted by firing ground weapons, but the drones left the area without being recovered. In recent weeks, several incidents involving drones have been recorded near military bases in the Netherlands and Belgium. Both the army and the civil police have launched investigations, but the reasons for the drones' flights are unclear. The use of drones near airports and military facilities is prohibited in the Netherlands for safety reasons.
