According to the publication’s sources, the drone flew by at around 7 p.m. local time.

The unidentified drone flew at low altitude directly over the base’s runway.

Military personnel sounded the alarm, and the police were called. The type and origin of the drone could not be determined.

This NATO airbase is key to controlling the airspace on the Alliance’s eastern flank, as it’s home to AWACS reconnaissance aircraft.
