DeMorgen reported the information.When asked by a journalist if the minister was afraid that Putin might one day launch a non-nuclear missile at Brussels, he denied it, noting that the Russian dictator would then "hit the heart of NATO.""If he fires a missile at Brussels, we will raze Moscow to the ground," he said.Francken also expressed confidence that Putin would not use nuclear weapons. According to him, he is more concerned about Russia's hybrid attacks than direct missile strikes.Later, the minister wrote on the social network X that the publication took the headline out of context and turned a "wonderful interview" into clickbait.Reaction of the Russian Embassy in Belgium"The provocative and irresponsible statements of one of Belgium's main 'hawks,' who predicted 'Russian strikes on Brussels' and threatened to 'wipe Moscow off the face of the earth,' are hardly worthy of attention due to their complete absurdity and complete detachment from reality," the statement says.The embassy noted that, allegedly according to Francken, Russia is at war not with Ukraine alone, but with the entire Western world, because without this alliance, Ukraine would have been defeated long ago.The department noted that if it were up to him, Francken would send "hundreds of thousands of European soldiers" to "bring Russia to its knees" and also economically strangle the Russian Federation."The public in Belgium and Europe as a whole must understand that it is this kind of policy, which sometimes crosses all boundaries of common sense, and not Russia, that poses a threat to the future of the continent and could drive it into a new war," the message added.Unknown UAVs over a Belgian military baseEarlier, the Belgian Defense Minister reported that several unknown drones were detected over the military base in Marche-en-Famenne. He wrote about this on the social network X."On Saturday evening, a guard at our barracks in Marche-en-Famenne observed several drones flying for a long time over important parts of our army brigade's headquarters," the message reads.Francken emphasized that the drones were operated by experienced pilots. According to him, all procedures were followed properly. The police and the General Intelligence and Security Service have already launched an investigation."Drone flights over military bases are strictly prohibited. We must be able to destroy them. The previous government purchased too few countermeasures. We must urgently correct this. The procurement documentation is ready," the minister added.As noted by the Belgian agency Belga, several drones were again spotted last night. They were scouting critical information about key infrastructure located at the military base.On the morning of October 3, 15 unknown drones were spotted over the Belgian military base in Elsenborn.
