Cartel Drones Breach Airspace, Shut El Paso Airport
Mexican cartel drones brazenly breached U.S. airspace near El Paso International Airport, forcing the FAA to temporarily shut it down late Tuesday, but Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Wednesday that the Department of War swiftly disabled the threats and lifted restrictions. Normal flights are resuming with no danger to commercial travel, though officials won't detail the number of drones or exact countermeasures used.
