Editor's Note: German media later reported that the Mechernich military base is used to repair U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems. Two drones were detected over a military base in the town of Mechernich in western Germany, a Bundeswehr official said on Aug. 7. The suspicious sighting comes two days after a serious security incident involving unknown drones at Germany's Leipzig/Halle Airport overnight on Aug. 5. Two days later, at around 10:00 a.m. local time on Aug. 7, two drones were spotted over the Mechernich military base, located in Germany's Euskirchen district in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Suspected Russian-linked drone incidents have repeatedly disrupted airports across Europe, causing flight suspensions and diversions.
