Civil and military air traffic at Eindhoven airport, Netherlands, was suspended on Saturday evening after several drones were observed in the area, according to statements from Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans. Anti-drone measures are prepared to intervene, and the police and Dutch Royal Guard are on site to manage the situation. Previously, the minister mentioned that drones were also observed over the Volkel airbase, where ground weapons were used to shoot them down. Although the drones have left the area, they have not yet been found, and the investigation continues. This situation adds to a broader context in which drone incursions, especially from Russia, have disrupted air operations in Europe, being considered by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as an act of "hybrid warfare."
