Overview

• Denmark’s prime minister said the country cannot fully shield itself from drones and closed airspace to civilian UAVs Sept. 29–Oct. 3 for an EU summit, as allies sent counter‑UAS assets, personnel, radars and a French Fennec helicopter.
• Euractiv reported that repeated airport disruptions have eroded public trust in Denmark’s government, citing a Copenhagen University professor’s assessment of the political fallout.
• Norway’s defense minister confirmed drone detections over the country but said authorities cannot determine their origin and described them as reconnaissance rather than strike systems.
• German police launched an investigation into suspected drone reconnaissance over key infrastructure in Schleswig‑Holstein—including a power plant, a Kiel university clinic, government buildings, a defense supplier, and a refinery—after reports of coordinated flight paths.
• Russia’s defense ministry said an Iskander‑M strike east of Chernihiv destroyed 20 trucks carrying about 100 long‑range drones and killed around 60 Ukrainian personnel, and reported four Ukrainian drones downed over Belgorod, Kursk and Orenburg, while an FSB unit claimed 11 reconnaissance drones were intercepted in the Donetsk region.
