Overview
- Denmark has closed its airspace to civilian drones for the week of the Copenhagen summit after repeated sightings near airports and military sites.
- Sweden is sending Counter‑UAS systems and radar teams, France is deploying a military helicopter and 35 drone specialists, and Germany is sending about 40 soldiers with detection and defense roles alongside a frigate already in the Baltic.
- Danish authorities describe the incidents as hybrid attacks but say attribution remains unproven, even as leaders single out Russia as Europe’s primary security threat.
- Germany has announced reinforced aerial surveillance and closer coordination with Denmark and NATO partners in response to the sightings near the border.
- EU ministers are fast‑tracking collective counter‑drone measures, including a proposed "drone wall," as a massive Russian drone‑and‑missile strike on Ukraine that killed at least four in Kyiv intensifies urgency.
