On 25 September 2025, media reporting based on an internal German authorities’ memorandum alleged that suspicious drones had been observed over the Bundeswehr installation at Sanitz in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, east of Rostock. AP reproduced the report, while NDR likewise stated that drones had reportedly circled the Sanitz site during the same broader period in which unidentified aerial objects were reported over critical infrastructure elsewhere in northern Germany. The installation is the Siebenbuche-Kaserne, home to elements of Flugabwehrraketengruppe 21, a Bundeswehr air-defence unit operating the Patriot surface-to-air missile system and contributing to Germany’s and NATO’s integrated air defence.
