According to him, the devices circled for a long time over important areas of the military base.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Last night, the situation repeated itself &#8211; several drones were again recorded. We immediately launched the necessary response protocols, and the police and the ADIV intelligence service began an investigation,&#8221; Franken said.<\/p>\n<p> The minister emphasized that the flight of drones over a strategic object cannot be accidental.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;This looks like an organized operation against the heart of our army. Someone was trying to gather information about the critical infrastructure of a military facility,&#8221; he noted.<\/p>\n<p> The Belgian government is already preparing a decision on the urgent procurement of systems for detecting and destroying enemy UAVs to prevent similar incidents in the future.<\/p>\n<p> As a reminder, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/v-ispanii-nevidomyy-dron-porushyv-robotu-aeroportu-na-mayortsi-zatrymani-desiatky-reysiv\/\">in Palma de Mallorca (Spain), the airport was temporarily closed on October 19 due to the appearance of an unidentified drone in the area of Son Sant Joan airport<\/a> .
