Air traffic at Eindhoven Airport in the Netherlands has been suspended following the sighting of multiple drones.

Dutch minister of defence Ruben Brekelmans said defence counter-drone measures were “ready to intervene”.

The country’s police and military are also on site, the minister added in a post on X, and an investigation was ongoing.

The airport in the south of the Netherlands is used for both military and civilian purposes. All types of air traffic had been halted, Mr Brekelmans said.
