France Activates Counter-Measures After Drone Swarm Breaches Airspace Near Nuclear Sub Base

France has activated counter-measures after five unmanned aerial vehicles breached the airspace near the Ile Longue nuclear submarine base. French forces deployed anti-drone defenses as part of an ongoing probe into the incident. The breach prompted an investigation into how the drones entered restricted airspace and whether any security protocols were bypassed.

Authorities confirmed the drones did not cause any physical damage or accidents, and there were no reported injuries. The incident has led to heightened scrutiny of airspace security around strategic naval facilities, with authorities reviewing surveillance, response times, and interdiction capabilities. No group has claimed responsibility for the drones.

In the wake of the breach, France reinforced electronic warfare measures and other counter-drone technologies to deter similar incursions. Officials emphasized that the safety and security of critical military assets remain a top priority and that measures will continue to evolve in response to evolving drone threats.
