Ten drones intercepted at NSS

During the Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) last month in The Hague, police intercepted around ten drones. Several weapons were also seized during that time. The police reports these figures in a look back at the Summit in The Hague, during which the airspace around The Hague was closed off for around 100 kilometers. Normal air traffic was kept under tight watch. Drones were also on the radar. The unmanned aircrafts were intercepted at various places in The Netherlands, police say.
