Multiple Danish Airports Close Amid Suspected Russian Drone Incursions

News summary

Denmark has experienced multiple drone incursions targeting key airports and military sites, leading to the temporary closure of Aalborg Airport twice within 24 hours and disruption at Copenhagen Airport. Danish authorities suspect these coordinated drone activities are part of a wider hybrid warfare campaign likely backed by Russia, aiming to undermine NATO defenses and sow fear and division. Danish officials, including the Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister, described the operations as systematic and professionally executed, with intelligence warning of high risks of Russian espionage and sabotage. The incidents have prompted Denmark to raise its threat level and seek enhanced countermeasures, including legislation to allow infrastructure owners to neutralize drones. Neighboring countries such as Germany, Norway, and Poland have reported similar drone activities, signaling a regional security concern and prompting discussions on collective NATO responses. Despite no immediate public danger, the situation remains tense as authorities continue investigations and security assessments.
