Overview

• Unauthorized drones were spotted over Aalborg, Esbjerg, Sønderborg and the Skrydstrup air base, with Aalborg suspending operations and flights diverted.
• Police and the armed forces chose not to shoot down the drones due to civilian safety concerns, no operators have been detained, and a joint investigation is underway.
• The government says it will move to procure new systems to detect and neutralize drones following the second multi‑site incident this week.
• NATO reported that two Hungarian Gripen fighters intercepted a Su‑30, a Su‑35 and three MiG‑31 flying near Danish airspace, while NORAD tracked separate Russian aircraft near Alaska.
• Moscow has denied any role in the Danish incidents, and NATO leaders stated it is too early to assign blame as coordination with Copenhagen continues.
