Drone sightings disrupt flights at Liege airport
Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
The dataset records drone sightings at Liege airport on 4 and 5 November 2025 that caused cancellations and delays, and notes that a sighting at Brussels airport was later debunked by VRT. It codes the incident as disruption, apparent goal disrupt (civil) aviation, target civil aviation, location Belgium; the dataset dates it to November 2025 and its text gives the day. 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.
