Two drones were spotted flying over a German military base in the western part of the country, just two days after a drone carrying explosives was found at a key cargo airport, the German Armed Forces said in a statement on Saturday.
Security surveillance at the Bundeswehr base in Mechernich reported seeing two drones around 10 pm on Thursday, according to a statement from the German Joint Force Command. The sightings were confirmed and military police forces were deployed to the site.
The military said the Euskirchen police department has opened an investigation. The police did not immediately respond to a request for comment and the military did not release additional details.
