  "description": "Air traffic above the southern Dutch city of Eindhoven was suspended for several hours on 22 November 2025 after unidentified drones were spotted near the airport. The first sightings occurred late on 21 November near the nearby Volkel air force base. Efforts to shoot down the drones failed as the devices escaped. The incident caused a temporary closure of the airspace around Eindhoven airport until 22:00 GMT. Authorities have not disclosed detailed measures taken. The sightings are part of a series of drone appearances near airports and military bases in northern Europe, involving multiple countries and attributed by some European officials to Russian 'hybrid warfare,' though Russia denies involvement.",
