Dutch authorities reported multiple sightings of large drone swarms near critical sites in South Limburg, including NATO's Allied Joint Force Command in Brunssum, the Chemelot industrial complex in Geleen, and Maastricht Aachen Airport. The investigation was launched after numerous reports over the weekend, though no drones were physically located during searches. Reports also include drone sightings near the NATO air base in Geilenkirchen, Germany. Police remain on high alert but see no immediate cause for panic. This uptick aligns with recent increased drone activity near military and airport facilities in Belgium, which caused temporary air traffic disruptions at Brussels, Antwerp, and Liège airports. The Chemelot complex spokesperson referred inquiries to police, while Maastricht officials were unavailable for comment.
