Overview

• Police reported more than one illuminated drone over Aalborg from 21:44 local time, prompting a full suspension of operations and flight diversions.
• Danish national police said the Aalborg flight patterns resembled those seen over Copenhagen two days earlier.
• Aalborg’s closure also affected military operations, as the facility serves as a dual-use civilian and defense base.
• Sightings were also logged at Esbjerg, Sønderborg and the Skrydstrup air base, though those facilities did not close due to a lack of scheduled flights at the time.
• Investigators are working with the intelligence service PET and the armed forces, while officials continue to assess any links to prior Nordic incidents without confirming motive or attribution.
