Overview

• Danish defence intelligence reported repeated collision-course maneuvers and weapons targeting of Danish helicopters and ships by Russian vessels in the Danish straits.
• Officials recorded Russian ships operating sonar and jamming equipment and assessed it highly probable they caused extensive GPS interference on at least one occasion.
• A Russian warship has remained anchored in Danish waters for over a week, which intelligence linked to potential pressure if Denmark restricts Russia’s shadow tanker fleet.
• The agency characterized the pattern as hybrid warfare against Denmark and the West, while stressing there is no direct military threat and that drone investigations remain ongoing.
• NATO stepped up Baltic operations and Sweden moved to expand maritime surveillance, while Moscow denied responsibility and Vladimir Putin dismissed suggestions Russia would target a NATO member.
