Overview

• Danish police said one to two unidentified drones flew over the Karup air base for hours Friday night, with the co-located Midtjylland airport briefly closed and no intercept taken.
• The Schleswig-Holstein interior minister opened investigations into reports of drones near the Danish border, citing possible espionage or sabotage and close coordination with Berlin.
• Ten eastern-flank EU nations held first focused talks on a coordinated ‘drone wall,’ which the European defence commissioner called a priority requiring rapid action.
• Officials outlined a detection-first approach with expanded ground and satellite sensors, drawing on Ukraine’s acoustic networks and interceptor-drone expertise offered to the EU and NATO.
• EU sources signaled costs in the several-billion-euro range, with leaders set to debate the proposal in Copenhagen as Denmark labels the incidents ‘hybrid attacks’ after a week of airport closures.
