Drone incidents continue in Belgium, this time three unmanned aircraft were detected over the "Doul" nuclear power plant in northern Belgium, near the border with the Netherlands. This was reported by the operator Engie, quoted by Reuters.
A spokesman for the French energy company specified that the incident did not affect the operation of the power plant. Belgian authorities have been notified of what happened.
This is another incident after the airport in the Belgian city of Liege, in the central part of the country, temporarily stopped working over the weekend because of a drone. Similar incidents have occurred at several other Belgian airports in the past week.
This has prompted Britain and Germany to send military aid to Belgium to keep the country's airports open.
London is sending military personnel and specialized systems, while Berlin will give Belgium anti-drone systems.
The British military chief, Sir Richard Knighton, said in an interview with the "BBC" that the deployment of military personnel is already underway.
"We know this is sabotage. Russia has already killed people on our British soil. So we need to step up our action against the so-called hybrid war, which is different from traditional warfare, whether it is cyberspace or space. This is very important," he commented.
Suspicion for the numerous drone incidents that have affected air traffic in Europe, including in countries such as Sweden, Norway and Denmark, falls on Russia, although Moscow categorically denies it.
