> Unauthorized drones near Luxembourg’s only international airport forced an overnight flight suspension, diverting 17 incoming flights and affecting more than 1,800 Luxair passengers. Prime Minister Luc Frieden said authorities are investigating and working with NATO allies, but stressed it was too early to identify those responsible. Flights resumed Saturday, though delays may continue.
