Overview

• Authorities briefly closed Aalborg again overnight after a new suspected drone sighting, following a multi-hour shutdown and a series of incursions since Wednesday.
• Police say drones were reported over Aalborg, Esbjerg, Sønderborg and Skrydstrup, with possible activity at Billund and an earlier closure at Copenhagen earlier in the week.
• Ministers called the incidents hybrid attacks carried out by a professional actor, but investigators have not identified who is responsible and report no direct military threat.
• The government is considering NATO Article 4 consultations and joins EU partners today for talks on a proposed cross-border anti-drone network, as France offered help safeguarding Danish airspace.
• Russia’s embassy denies involvement while Danish intelligence warns the risk of Russian sabotage is high, and officials plan new detection, neutralisation capabilities and legal changes after deciding not to shoot down the drones for safety reasons.
