Timeline
Three clocks, one reading line
Shared calendar-day axis, from left to right. Bars mark days or reporting windows, not durations. Publication and revision clocks are not event clocks. Missing clocks remain unknown; the table gives all available precision and source links. The plot follows recorded calendar dates; time zones may differ. It establishes neither within-day order nor causality.

What remains uncertain?
- Was a drone established? A published investigation or identification could resolve this.
- Who operated it, and why? An attributed investigation finding is missing.

How to read this table
Reading aid only. Switch off a source or its recorded family to inspect the remaining visible support for exact claim texts. Evidence status is not recalculated. Shared wording or a shared family does not prove independence. Only recorded links labelled “supports” count here; context and contradiction links are not support. The dossier itself is unchanged.
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.
Data
- No structured detail recorded
- Hit / damaged · Fell near · Intercepted (claimed) · Human consequences
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.
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]
