Guardian: “US authorities have abruptly closed the airspace around El Paso international airport in Texas for 10 days for “special security reasons”, shutting off the skies for all aircraft in an area along the border with Mexico. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) posted the “temporary flight restriction” notice on its website late on Tuesday, stating that a 10-nautical-mile circle up to 18,000ft would be off limits for all commercial, cargo and general aviation flights.”
Then… “The Federal Aviation Administration reopened the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas on Wednesday morning, just hours after it announced a 10-day closure that would have grounded all flights to and from the airport. The FAA said in a social media post that it has lifted the temporary closure of the airspace over El Paso, saying there was no threat to commercial aviation and that all flights will resume.”
WTF? Mediate: “A Trump administration official revealed that the temporary closure of airspace over El Paso late Tuesday was due to the presence of Mexican cartel drones that have since been “disabled” by the military. The official told NBC News journalist Garrett Haake the cause of the disruption on Wednesday morning, after the drones reportedly breached the airspace.”
