Overview

• The nationwide suspension of civilian drone flights runs through Friday to simplify security during the summit, with exemptions for state and emergency operations and penalties of up to two years for violations.
• France has deployed a 35‑person detachment with a Fennec helicopter and active counter‑drone systems, augmenting Danish measures already in place.
• NATO has heightened vigilance in the Baltic, with additional surveillance platforms and the German frigate FGS Hamburg positioned in Copenhagen for enhanced protection.
• Sweden has offered immediate military counter‑drone support, while Norway is probing possible sightings near its Ørland base, after earlier incidents briefly disrupted several Scandinavian airports.
• Attribution remains unconfirmed as Sweden’s prime minister says everything points to Russia and Moscow denies involvement, and Denmark is weighing new shoot‑down authorities while European officials discuss a layered anti‑drone ‘wall’ that would take months to field.
