The Dutch military opened fire on drones spotted over Volkel Air Base on Friday night, according to the Ministry of Defense and the Koninklijke Marechaussee, the Dutch military police. This marks one of two recent security incidents involving unidentified flying devices in sensitive locations.

荷兰国防部（Ministry of Defense）和荷兰宪兵队（Koninklijke Marechaussee）称，周五晚上，荷兰军方向在沃尔克尔空军基地（Volkel Air Base）上空发现的无人机开火。这是最近两起涉及敏感地点不明飞行装置的安全事件之一。

Guards at the Noord-Brabant air base reported drones between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Ground-based weapons were used to bring the drones down, but the devices left the area and were not found. The ministry declined to say how the drones were detected or which weapons were used, citing security reasons.

北布拉班特空军基地的警卫在晚上7点到9点之间报告了无人机。地面武器被用来击落无人机，但这些装置离开了该地区，没有被发现。国防部以安全为由，拒绝透露无人机是如何被发现的，以及使用了哪些武器。

Drones are banned above airports and military bases in the Netherlands.

荷兰禁止无人机在机场和军事基地上空飞行。

A spokesperson for the Koninklijke Marechaussee, which is investigating the case with police, confirmed that officers fired at the drones but said the number of devices involved is unknown.

正在与警方一起调查此案的宪兵队发言人证实，警察向无人机开火，但表示所涉及的设备数量不详。

The Volkel incident followed another large-scale drone sighting earlier in the week, when a significant number of drones flew over the port area of Terneuzen on Monday evening.

在Volkel事件发生之前，本周早些时候又发生了一起大规模无人机目击事件，周一晚上，大量无人机飞越了Terneuzen港口地区。

Additional sightings have been reported near the NATO command center in Brunssum, at Maastricht Aachen Airport, and at Schiphol. Similar incidents have also occurred recently in Germany and Belgium.

据报道，在布伦苏姆的北约指挥中心、马斯特里赫特亚琛机场和史基浦机场附近也有其他目击事件。德国和比利时最近也发生了类似的事件。

The National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security described the rising number of unexplained drone sightings as worrying.

国家反恐和安全协调员表示，不明原因的无人机目击事件越来越多，令人担忧。
