🔗 Share this article Munich's Air Terminal Suspends Operations for Another Time in 24 Hours Due to Alleged Drone Incidents Germany's Bavarian airport has stopped air traffic for the second time in 24 hours, following further unverified UAV incidents. In a announcement on Friday night, the airport authority said that operations were stopped at 9:30 PM local (20:30 GMT), affecting approximately thousands of passengers. A minimum of seventeen planes were also halted in the city on Thursday evening due to several UAV observations in nearby airspace. This marks the newest in a sequence of incidents featuring drones that have affected flight operations in Europe in recent weeks. Continental Officials Investigate Unmanned Events Officials in Belgium on the previous day were also looking into sightings of fifteen unmanned aircraft, which were observed above the military installation near the border with Germany. Post-incident, the aircraft reportedly moved from that nation to the neighboring country, where they were also spotted by law enforcement in the minor German town of Düren. Leaders have been incapable to identify where the devices originated or who operated them. Government Response and Laws The nation's Interior Minister the official has stated he will raise the topic of drone defense systems at a Saturday meeting of continental interior ministers, which was first scheduled as a migration summit. Previously that day, the minister also vowed to bring forward suggested laws allowing it simpler for the authorities to ask the armed forces to disable UAVs. EU Officials Address Drone Threat Latest drone sightings across the EU resulted in a high-level meeting in Copenhagen lately. Several European nations have endorsed strategies for a comprehensive "UAV barrier" to rapidly spot, then follow and destroy Russian drones. Multiple foreign UAVs crossed into Poland and suspected planes breached Estonian territory in different recent incidents. Copenhagen and Oslo terminals were obliged to halt operations after unrecognized aircraft were observed near airport and defense flight zones. The nation's leader Friedrich Merz stated before the conference that violations were escalating and that it was "plausible to believe the aircraft are coming from Russia." Russia has rejected any involvement, while Scandinavian leaders say there was no evidence the nation was implicated. Speaking at a conference in the coastal location of the city on Thursday, the figure Putin dismissed claims he commanded drones to the Danish region. "No repeat occurrences. I won't do it again - nor to that nation or the Danes or the capital," the president remarked.
