Overview

• Danish authorities reported hundreds of drone sightings over three nights that briefly shut multiple airports, tightened security around critical sites, and prompted investigations into possible ship-launched systems, while deciding not to seek Article 4 consultations.
• British, French, and German envoys privately warned Russian officials in Moscow that further airspace breaches could meet “full force,” including shoot-downs, as the Kremlin denied culpability and cautioned that destroying its aircraft “would be war.”
• EU and frontline states moved from discussion to developing a cross-border anti-drone “wall” with layered detection, jamming, and interceptors, with potential European Commission financing under consideration.
• Ukraine’s military intelligence assessed that roughly 20 Russian drones deliberately entered Polish airspace on Sept. 9–10 to test NATO, after which allied jets downed several; recent incidents also included MiG-31s crossing Estonia and a drone tracked over Romania.
• President Volodymyr Zelensky said suspected Hungarian reconnaissance drones violated Ukraine’s border and ordered an investigation and readiness to respond, a claim Hungary’s foreign minister dismissed.
