📌 Netherlands – Drone Sightings Halt Air Traffic Near Eindhoven

Dutch forces tried but failed to shoot them down, prompting authorities to close the airspace until 23:00. The incident fits a wider pattern of drone activity around military sites in northern Europe, with some officials suspecting Russian “hybrid warfare”, though Moscow denies involvement. EU states are now coordinating tighter anti-drone defences.
