Makes clear that incidents at airport and Defence Ministry are separate, gives more detail on possible link in paragraph 6
AMSTERDAM, Aug 28 (Reuters) -All air traffic washalted at the Netherlands' Eindhoven Airport on Wednesday after an unspecified "significant disruption", the Dutch Royal Airforce said on Wednesday.
The airforce gave no further details on the nature of the disruption at the airport, the second largest in the country.
Separately,the DutchDefence Ministry reported its own disruption on Wednesday, citingIT issues.
"Employees are experiencing login problems and in some cases there is an impact on service provision because telephone numbers are not reachable," the ministry said in a statement.
Dutch emergency services also reported a national outage which has disrupted its usual alarm and communication system, although it said that national emergency numbers were still working.
It remained unclear whether the disruptions were connected, but sources at the National Cybersecurity Centre told local media outlet AD that there were no indications yet of a cyber attack. They said one outage might be contributing to the other.
