BRUSSELS - Belgium’s Defence Ministry has opened an investigation into several drones flying over the military base at Elsenborn, on the German border, overnight.

“This is the first such incident we are aware of,” a ministry spokesperson said on Oct 3.

An unspecified number of drones flew over the military base and left towards Germany, she said.

Drone sightings also overnight at Germany’s Munich airport,

some 600km south-east of Elsenborn, led to the cancellation and diversion of dozens of flights. REUTERS
