Overview
- Denmark tightened summit security with a temporary drone ban over Copenhagen, as Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said authorities have a mandate to shoot down hostile UAVs and urged Europe to rearm by 2030.
- Poland scrambled six F-16s after radar tracked two Shahed drones near its border, extending a recent pattern of airspace incidents that has raised allied air-policing levels.
- EU capitals broadly backed work on an eastern anti-drone shield but stopped short of unanimity, with German reservations and France stressing early-warning and layered defenses, while southern members pushed for a 360-degree approach.
- Ukraine reported that Russian strikes cut power to Chernobyl’s New Safe Confinement, highlighting the wider risks from the drone-and-missile campaign.
- Russia’s SVR accused Ukraine of plotting a false‑flag drone attack in Poland, a claim treated as uncorroborated by other actors, as French forces boarded a suspected ‘shadow fleet’ tanker near Normandy for inspection.
