Munich Airport in Germany stopped flights for the second time in 24 hours, after more unknown drones.

In a statement on Friday evening, the airport said that flights were suspended at 21:30 local time (20:30 GMT), with about 6,500 passengers.

At least 17 flights were established in Munich Thursday evening due to multiple drone views in the near air field.

It is the latest in a series of incidents that include drones that have disrupted aviation in Europe in recent weeks.

On Thursday, the authorities in Belgium were also investigating scenes of 15 drones, which were seen over the ESENBORN military site near the German border, according to Belgian media reports.

After the vision, the drones were said to have traveled from Belgium to Germany, where the police also noticed them in the small German town of Doreen.

Officials were unable to locate the drones or those who manage them.

The Minister of the Interior in Germany Alexander Dobrint said that it will raise the issue of program control defenses at a meeting on Saturday for European Internal Ministers, which was originally described as a bit for immigration.

Earlier on Friday, the minister also promised to submit proposed legislation, making it easier for the police to ask the army to shoot down drones.

Watch: Putin laughs off Danish drone

The scenes of the recent drones across the European Union pushed the leaders of the leaders in Copenhagen this week.

Many European Union member states supported plans for a multi -layer “drone” to discover them quickly, then follow and destroy Russian drones.

Twenty aircraft of subsequent Russian aircraft crossed to Poland, and Russian Mig-31 aircraft entered the Astony airspace in separate recent accidents.

Copenhagen and Oslo airports were forced to close after unidentified drones were monitored near the airport and military air parking.

German counselor Friedrich Mirz said before the summit that the incursions of the airspace were getting worse and that “it is reasonable to assume that drones are coming from Russia.”

Russia denied any involvement, while the Danish authorities say that there was no evidence that Moscow was involved.

Speaking to a summit in Sochi in the Sochi resort on Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin laughed at the unmanned suggestions to Denmark.

“I will not do it again. I will not do it again – not for France, Denmark or Copenhagen,” Putin said.
