Earlier today, NATO raised the security level at its Geilenkirchen airbase in western Germany due to a potential threat, according to German news magazine Focus. The news agency cited a spokesperson for the German military's territorial command.
A NATO spokesperson later clarified that the base was not being locked down, but that non-essential personnel were being sent home.

The heightened security measures come after a similar incident at the base in 2022, when a suspected sabotage attempt was reported.
Ongoing Investigation
The German military is currently investigating the potential threat, and NATO has not yet provided any further details.
