JAKARTA - An unidentified drone was detected over the residence of Princess Beatrix and the gold vault of the Dutch central bank in November 2025, the Algemeen Dagblad newspaper reported on Friday (10/4).
Reports of drone activity at the site were previously classified.
Documents show that on the night of November 22, 2025, three drones passed over a military base near Utrecht and Beatrix's residence in the same province.
The Dutch military police, the Royal Marechaussee, is trying to track down the source of the drone and assess the potential risks, but no perpetrators have been identified.
The location is among the most sensitive in the country. The Camp New Amsterdam military base is the headquarters of an elite unit tasked with protecting military officials, politicians, and diplomats.
At the location there is also a new vault of the Dutch Central Bank that stores millions of coins, banknotes, and 14,166 gold bars.
Drone activity was also detected at Volkel airbase and Eindhoven Airport on 21-22 November 2025.
On November 21, Dutch forces shot down an unidentified drone over Volkel, while the next day Eindhoven Airport halted flights due to a violation of airspace.
In January, it was also revealed that drones were active over the Netherlands' largest gas distribution center near Ommen, but it was not announced to the public.
