NATO Allies Raise Alarm Over New Mystery Drone Swarms

Belgian defense officials said around 15 unidentified drones were seen flying over a military base in Elsenborn, Belgium’s VRT NWS reported.

Earlier, Munich Airport in Germany shut down for hours after drones of unknown origin were seen in the sky nearby.

Authorities in the two countries—both NATO allies—are investigating.

It remains unclear where the two drone swarms came from, or if they are connected, but it comes amid a wave of drone disruptions and suspected espionage and sabotage in Europe, with Russia the prime suspect.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said Russia is engaged in a form of war with NATO.
