According to the information, several drones had previously been spotted at Liège airport. Air traffic was then suspended for almost an hour in the evening.
Drones have recently been spotted several times in Belgium, including at the Belgian Kleine-Brogel military base used by NATO. According to unconfirmed reports, the air base is one of the locations in Europe where US nuclear weapons are stored. Traffic was also temporarily stopped at Brussels and Liège airports due to drone sightings.
The German Ministry of Defense announced last week that the Bundeswehr was supporting Belgium in drone defense. Belgium applied for support. (sda/dpa)
