What we know
AP quotes the airport communications head giving a Friday-morning interruption around 07:00–08:00 local time. Reuters quotes skeyes saying a report around 06:30 GMT, or 07:30 local, led to about 30 minutes of closure. Exact start and duration differ between the accounts; neither a precise interval nor a final affected-flight count is selected.
Two original institutional accounts: AP quotes the airport communications head on operational interruptions, and Reuters quotes skeyes on the report and precautionary closure. Different media do not independently identify a drone. The sources agree that operations resumed Friday morning but give different approximate start times and durations.
What remains unknown
Drone identity, operator, intent and exact closure boundaries remain unresolved. This covers 7 November morning only; Thursday-evening interruptions are not included. The previous one-flight count is omitted because its earlier source was not usable in the VPS precheck. The point remains a coarse regional reference.
Operator attribution: Not established. No operator or responsible organisation established by these sources; no criminal charge or conviction is asserted.
How the story changed
A reported sighting or alarm led to the documented airport restriction; see the source-bound claims and uncertainty below. [1]
