BRUSSELS (AP) -- Flights out of one of Europe's biggest cargo airports were briefly suspended after drones were spotted, an airport official said Friday, an incident that comes amid a spate of incidents around Belgium in recent weeks.

Christian Delcourt, the head of communications for Liege airport, said drones forced a sequence of flight interruptions between 9 p.m. Thursday and 1 a.m. Friday, and again between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. on Friday, when full operations resumed.
