Police investigate drone sighting over German military base

Police officials confirmed that a drone was observed flying over a military installation that is reportedly used to store components of the Patriot missile system. The sighting was reported to local law‑enforcement agencies early Thursday, prompting an immediate response from both civilian police and base security personnel. Authorities have not disclosed the exact location of the facility, but a spokesperson said the base is a designated storage site for Patriot missile parts and is subject to heightened security measures.

Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and have launched a formal inquiry to determine the drone’s origin, purpose, and whether any unauthorized access to the base occurred. No damage to equipment or injuries have been reported, and the base remains operational while the investigation continues. Police have urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward, and they indicated that the case will be updated as new facts emerge.
