Overview

• Denmark raised its alert level, closed its airspace to civilian drones and recently shut multiple airports, including Copenhagen, after sightings of large unmanned aircraft near civil and military sites.
• Sweden, France, Germany and Norway are sending counter‑UAS teams, radar units, police, a French helicopter, German troops and other assets to secure this week’s EU meetings in Copenhagen.
• Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen labeled the incidents part of a hybrid threat and pointed to Russia as Europe’s primary security risk, though authorities have not publicly established attribution.
• NATO and regional partners expanded aerial surveillance and patrols, Poland scrambled fighters, and Germany accelerated upgrades to sensors, radars and counter‑drone capabilities as the EU advances a cross‑border ‘drone wall’ concept.
• Russia conducted a large drone‑and‑missile barrage on Ukraine that killed at least four in Kyiv, while U.S. officials said Washington is considering providing Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, a possibility the Kremlin warned could escalate tensions.
