The French military used anti-drone measures after five unmanned vehicles flew over a closely guarded base housing nuclear ballistic submarines, a source told AFP on Friday. The drones were detected above the base on Île Longue, a peninsula off the Brittany coast in northwestern France near Brest, at around 7:30pm on Thursday, said the source close to the operation. An anti-drone and search operation was launched by the marine battalion, which protects the base, the source said.
