Approximately fifteen drones were observed flying over the Elsenborn military base near the German border at around 1:45 a.m. local time this morning, Belgium's Defense Ministry announced. The Defense Minister confirmed the airspace intrusion and stated that an investigation into the incident is underway. This development, occurring between 00:45 UTC and 02:45 UTC on October 3rd, 2025, adds to regional security concerns.

This incident follows reports from Poland detailing alleged sabotage operations planned by Russia's GRU military intelligence agency across Poland, Lithuania, and Germany. These alleged operations reportedly involved explosives concealed within food cans and instructions for a GRU courier to bury them near Łódź, Poland. The specific targets and the full scope of these alleged GRU sabotage plans are still under investigation by Polish authorities, who confirmed these findings this morning.
