Unidentified drones were reported hovering over Volkel Air Base, a key NATO military installation in the Netherlands, prompting heightened security measures. The incident occurred between 19:00 and 21:00 local time on Friday, with Dutch military personnel deploying weapons in an attempt to intercept the drones. However, the devices reportedly departed and were never recovered, leaving authorities without concrete evidence of their origin. This event is part of a broader pattern of drone sightings across northern Europe, including Belgium, Denmark, and Germany, which have disrupted air traffic and raised significant security concerns. While some European officials have suggested these incidents could be linked to “hybrid warfare” tactics by Russia, the Kremlin has consistently denied any involvement. In response, defense ministers from 10 EU countries have agreed to establish a “drone wall” to enhance surveillance and countermeasures. The Netherlands, along with its NATO allies, continues to investigate the incidents, but the lack of evidence has complicated efforts to identify the perpetrators or their motives.
