Munich Airport was forced to stop the operation for the second consecutive day on Friday, which affected dozens of flights and more than 6,000 passengers.
Denmark, Norway and Poland airports have recently suspended flights due to unknown drones, while Romania and Estonia have identified a finger towards Russia, which has eliminated the allegations.
Munich Airport said in a statement that “air traffic was restricted from 9:30 pm on Friday and then canceled due to the drone watching”, which means that the coming flights were diverted and 12 were bound for Munich.
Forty -six departures from the airport had to cancel or delay the week, with a total of 6,500 passengers affected.
A police spokesman told AFP that “before 11pm in the North and South Runways, there are two simultaneous drones to be seen by police patrols.”
“The drones were immediately removed, before they were identified,” he added.
The airport said, “Like the previous night, the airport, along with airlines, provided immediate goods to the passengers in the terminals. Camp beds were installed, including blankets, drinks and snacks.”
The airport expects the service to resume at 5:00 pm on Saturday.
More than 30 flights were canceled due to preliminary obstacles on Thursday and about 3,000 passengers were trapped.
The first incident began at 8:30 pm on Thursday when police said a drone was seen in the nearby areas near the airport, including the fringe and the tribes.
The Arding plays a host in an airfield used by the German Army. Blood newspaper said some drones were seen flying at the facility, though the police could not confirm it.
The first drone near the airport limits was seen on Thursday at 9pm and 55 minutes and then an hour after the airport complex.
The midnight of seeing ended, but not before the two were the cause of the runway closure.
Police helicopters were deployed, but no information about the type and number of drones was available, police said.
High alert
Earlier on Friday, German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrant said the first night was “awakening” about the danger of drones.
“The race for drones and the defense against drones is becoming more and more difficult,” he told Blood, “he told Blood, adding that there was an urgent need for” maximum financial support and research “at the national and European level.
These obstacles came when the country celebrated the German alliance day on Friday – a national holiday – and when Munich prepared the last weekend of Oktobrif, in which millions of people attract the city every day.
The annual beer gala and Finfire closed for half a day on Wednesday after the bombing.
It is expected that the German government is expected to sign the law plans to shoot down the drone if necessary, if necessary.
“We should be able to shoot down (drones) immediately instead of waiting,” Bavarin State Prime Minister Marcus Sweder told Blood and said the police should have the power to do so.
Watching drones in Denmark and high -level airstrikes in Estonia and Poland has raised concerns that Russia’s attack on Ukraine could spread to Europe’s borders.
Ukrainian President Wolodmeer Zelannsky on Thursday warned Europe that the recent drone attack shows that Moscow wants to “promote its aggression”.
Germany is on high alert, saying one of them flew in the country last week, including more than military and industrial places.
Denmark also raised the alarm, Prime Minister Matt Frederickson reiterated last week that only one country was “a threat to European security – and it is Russia”.
Moscow said it “firmly rejects any suggestion”, Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused Europe of justifying “Hysterea” on the growing military spending.
