Munich Airport Flights Resume After Drone Incident

flights at Munich ⁤Airport in‌ Germany resumed ‌after a second disruption caused ⁤by the‌ sighting of​ unidentified drones ‌in its airspace.

According to the English section of webangah⁤ News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and France24, ‌Munich Airport announced ⁢that flights were gradually ⁢resuming after a suspension on the second consecutive day following sightings of unidentified‍ drones.

This marked the second closure in two days due to drone ‌incidents, affecting more than 6,500 passengers.

Airports ⁣in ⁣Denmark, Norway, and Poland have also recently suspended flights due to reports of unidentified drones.Romania and estonia have accused⁤ Russia of involvement; Moscow has denied these allegations.

Munich Airport had stated yesterday that⁤ becuase of drone sightings‍ near its ⁤airspace, “from 20:03 hours⁢ air traffic would be restricted and ⁣then canceled,” resulting⁤ in the diversion of 23 ⁤incoming flights⁤ and cancellation of 12 inbound services to ⁢Munich.

Additionally, 46 outbound flights were ‍either canceled or​ delayed ​until today. In total, about⁣ 6,500 passengers were affected by‌ these ⁣disruptions.

A police spokesperson told⁢ Agence France-Presse that “police patrols⁤ confirmed simultaneous sightings of two drones just before 11 p.m. ⁤around the northern and southern⁣ runways. ⁤the drones⁣ quickly fled before⁢ they could be identified.”

The recent drone incidents in Denmark⁢ and also ⁣significant events in Estonia and Poland have‍ raised concerns about⁣ a possible ⁤expansion of Russian attacks from Ukraine ‌toward Europe’s borders.

Last Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr‌ Zelensky warned Europe that recent ⁢drone incidents demonstrate ‌Moscow’s intent to “escalate” ⁣its attacks.Germany remains on high alert after reporting several drone overflights last​ week‍ above military and industrial sites across the ⁢country.

Denmark also‍ raised its threat level last week.Prime minister Mette Frederiksen⁢ claimed only one country poses a threat “to European ​security – ⁢Russia.”

Moscow strongly denies any involvement in these drone​ incursions. Russian President Vladimir Putin accused​ Europe of fomenting fear to justify increased military spending.
