Suspecting drones force the second closure of Munich Airport in 24 Hours

The German Airport Munich stopped flights for a second time in 24 hours, after more unprecedented drone observations.

In a statement on Friday night, the airport said the flights were stopped at 9:30 pm local time (20:30 GMT), with about 6,500 passengers affected.

At least 17 flights were also grounded in Munich on Thursday night due to numerous drones observations in the nearby airspace.

This is the latest in a series of incidents involving drones that have violated aviation in Europe in recent weeks.

Authorities in Belgium on Thursday also investigated observations of 15 drones that were observed over Elson’s military site near the German border, according to Belgian media reports.

After observation, the drones flew from Belgium in Germany, where police in the small German city of Duren were also observed.

Officials have failed to identify where the drones came from or who managed them.

German Minister of Interior Alexander Dobrind said he would raise the issue of protecting the fight against a Saturday meeting of European interior ministers, which was originally charged as a meeting at the top of migration.

Earlier on Friday, the minister also promised to submit the proposed legislation, which facilitated police to ask the military to remove drones down.

Recent observations of drones in the European Union have triggered the Copenhagen Leaders Meeting this week.

Several EU Member States have supported plans for a multi-layer “drone wall” for rapid detection, then tracking and destroying Russian drones.

Twenty Russian drones passed to Poland and the Russian Mig-31 jets entered the Estonian airspace in separate recent incidents.

Copenhagen and Oslo airports were forced to close after unidentified drones were spotted near an airport and military air spaces.

German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz said before the summit meeting that the invasion of the airspace is deteriorating and that it is “reasonable to assume that drones come from Russia.”

Russia has denied any participation, while the Danish authorities claim that there was no evidence that Moscow had participated.

Speaking at a summit in the city of Sochi in the Black Sea resort on Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin laughed at the suggestions he ordered in Drones in Denmark.

“I won’t do it again. I won’t do it again – not to France, Denmark or Copenhagen,” Putin said.
