French authorities have launched an investigation into an unauthorised
drone overflight of the nation’s nuclear-armed submarine base on the
Atlantic coast. The incident, confirmed by officials on Friday, involved
multiple drones detected on Thursday night above the highly sensitive Île
Longue base in Brittany, western France. This strategic facility serves as
the home port for France’s four nuclear ballistic missile submarines: Le
Triomphant, Le Téméraire, Le Vigilant, and Le Terrible.
