About 15 drones reported over Elsenborn military base in Belgium
Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
The dataset records about 15 drones over the Elsenborn military base, and says the Belgian defence minister implicitly linked the incident to Russia. It codes the incident as unknown, apparent goal unknown, target military / weapons production infrastructure, location Belgium; the dataset dates it only to October 2025, so the date shown is the first of the month. The Leiden dataset includes incidents linked to Russia by officials, incidents fitting a pattern of officially suspected attacks, or incidents backed by journalistic evidence, and its authors call the data speculative and subject to change.
