Overview

• Police say one or two drones were observed outside and over Karup air base from about 20:15 for several hours, were not shot down, and their origin remains unknown.
• A broader wave of sightings has disrupted Danish aviation this week, with temporary closures at airports including Copenhagen, Aalborg, Esbjerg and Sønderborg, and roughly 500 drone-related reports filed to police.
• Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has labeled the incidents hybrid attacks and identified Russia as Europe’s primary security concern, while officials stop short of definitive attribution.
• Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen described the activity as the work of a professional actor and a systematic threat.
• Authorities in Germany’s Schleswig-Holstein have opened an investigation into suspected drone sightings near the Danish border, while Norway reported arresting a foreign national operating a drone near Oslo Airport and seizing the device.
