Air traffic at Eindhoven airport in the south of the Netherlands was suspended on Saturday evening due to multiple drone sightings, Dutch defense minister Ruben Brekelmans said in a post on X.
"Counter-drone equipment is ready to act," Brekelmans said. "An investigation is ongoing."
The Dutch military on Friday evening had used weapons against drones sighted above the air force base in Volkel, some 25 miles northeast of Eindhoven, the defense ministry had said earlier on Saturday.
Eindhoven serves both as a civilian and as a military airport. All types of air traffic were suspended, Brekelmans said.
Recent months have seen several drone incursions in Europe
Drones and other airspace incursions have caused considerable disruption across Europe in recent months.
In September, more than 20 Russian drones entered Polish airspace, and three Russian military jets violated Estonia's airspace for 12 minutes.
Since then, many drone flights, the origins of which are mostly unknown, have disrupted airspace operations in Europe.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has called the incursions "hybrid warfare."
