Three drones were detected over Belgium's Doel nuclear power plant on Sunday evening, though operations were unaffected according to officials. This incident comes after a similar disruption at Liege airport, marking an ongoing wave of drone-related interruptions across the country.
The incident did not affect the plant’s operations, and authorities were promptly informed, the spokesperson confirmed. The drones’ intent and origin remain unclear, and investigations are ongoing to determine whether the sighting was a security threat or a technical anomaly.
The sighting came on the heels of another drone-related disruption on the same day, when operations at Belgium’s Liege airport were temporarily halted due to a drone sighting in the area. This latest disruption adds to a growing number of similar incidents across Belgium, raising concerns about the safety and security of critical infrastructure.
Authorities have increased efforts to address these types of interruptions, though the recent wave of drone sightings highlights a challenge faced by governments and agencies in securing their airspace.
The Doel nuclear power plant, located in Flanders, is one of Belgium’s largest nuclear facilities, providing a significant portion of the country’s energy needs.
