UK Sends Drone Defense Team to Belgium

The United Kingdom joins France and Germany in sending staff and equipment to Belgium to combat drone incursions over sensitive facilities, following several incidents at airports and military bases. Belgiums Defense Minister, Theo Francken, thanks the UK for deploying an anti-drone team. The European Commission views these incidents as part of a hybrid war by Russia, an accusation Russia denies. Belgiums National Air Security Center is set to be operational by January 2026, but in the meantime, assistance from Berlin, Paris, and London is requested to address the immediate threat. Germanys Defense Minister, Boris Pistorius, suggests these drone incursions are connected to discussions about using frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine, warning against touching the frozen assets.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
