France Launches Anti-Drone Operation After Nuclear Submarine Base Breach

French authorities activated anti-drone defenses and launched a search operation on Thursday evening. The action followed the detection of five unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, flying over a sensitive military base in northwestern France. The base is home to France's nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines. These submarines form a key part of the country's nuclear deterrent strategy. Officials have not identified the drones' operators or their purpose. The incident highlights growing security challenges posed by readily available drone technology at critical infrastructure sites. The investigation into the breach is ongoing.
