Belgian Defence Minister Theo Francken stated that there are strong indications Russia is responsible for several incidents within Belgium, including proven drone incidents over sensitive sites and numerous cyber-attacks on Belgian facilities. Investigations are ongoing but details and evidence are withheld due to operational security. The hybrid attacks are linked to Belgium's support for Ukraine amidst the ongoing war with Russia. Francken emphasized that these actions aim to cause instability through sabotage and influence public opinion. He further noted the Belgian army is preparing for potential future confrontations with Russia, although full readiness has not been achieved yet.
