Overview

• Police confirmed one or two drones over the Karup air base on Friday night, briefly closing nearby civil airspace, as Denmark logged sightings at several defense sites this week.
• Authorities describe the pattern as hybrid activity under investigation, with Copenhagen signaling a professional actor and Moscow rejecting any role and calling shoot‑down rhetoric dangerous.
• EU Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius convened frontline states to launch a year‑targeted detector network and lower‑cost countermeasures, with further steps due at next week’s Copenhagen summit.
• Denmark accepted Swedish anti‑drone technology support for the summit, and Norway opened a probe into possible drone activity near its Ørland F‑35 base.
• On the battlefield, Ukraine said it downed 97 of 115 drones launched overnight by Russia, while the Russian Defence Ministry claimed control of Derilove and Maiske in Donetsk and Stepove in Dnipropetrovsk.
