Drones operated by Mexican drug cartels breached US airspace near El Paso, Texas. The Federal Aviation Administration announced a 10-day closure of airspace around El Paso, but lifted the temporary closure hours later, stating there was no threat to commercial aviation. US forces disabled the drones, though the number intercepted and the methods used to disable them were not specified. The incursions prompted temporary airspace restrictions and a military response. Investigations into the origin, intent, and coordination of the drone flights are ongoing, and additional details about timing, payloads, and operational methods remain limited.
