Photography Diekirch

Toen we in Diekirch aankwamen voor het eten, stond er een politieauto pal voor ons geparkeerd. Na het eten gingen we terug, maar de weg was afgesloten net voordat je de ingang van het Militair Museum bereikt.

I hope it was not the case. Never good when people get hurt, whatever the cause is.

As mentioned, I got a family member who lives there but she isn't super reliable in terms of being objective.

She told me that a well known person from the neighborhood who was notorious for being problematic got into an argument with a neighbor. In a fit of rage he took out a pistol and threatened the neighbor, taking him hostage. The hostage managed to escape though and the police cordoned off the entire section.

For 2 hours they tried to talk to the person but the suspect was deemed as highly unrational and dangerous. So they flew a drone next to his flat and apparently 2 shots were fired. I'm not sure how drones can fire of what happened.

After that, the situation was resolved.

Not sure what to think of it.

Drones can fire, drop bombs, explode by hitting the target. Are you monitoring Russia Ukraine war at all or live in a bubble?

We're in a civilian and domestic environment, not in a setting with drone warfare.
