"Civil and military air traffic has therefore been suspended. The defense's anti-drone resources are ready to intervene," writes the country's Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans on X.
Earlier on Saturday, the country's defense ministry announced that several drones were also observed over Volkel air base on Friday. Dutch fighter jets are stationed at the base. The country's military tried unsuccessfully to shoot down the drones, according to the defense ministry.
It is unclear whether there is any connection between the drone alarm.
