Overview

• Both airports reopened overnight after multi-hour closures, and operators warned of ongoing delays and cancellations.
• Police in Copenhagen reported sightings of two to four relatively large drones near the airport, prompting diversions and roughly 100 cancellations affecting about 20,000 passengers.
• The drones disappeared before they could be recovered, and Danish and Norwegian authorities have launched coordinated investigations.
• Norwegian police detained two foreign nationals accused of flying a drone in a restricted zone over Oslo’s Akershus Fortress, with any link to the airport disruption still unclear.
• Denmark’s lead investigator described the perpetrator as a likely “capable actor,” and officials said there is no confirmed attribution despite outside suggestions of Russian involvement.
