Overview
- Danish police confirmed one or two unidentified drones over the Karup air base on Friday night and reported additional sightings at multiple military sites, briefly closing nearby Midtjylland airport and launching a joint police–army investigation.
- Norway’s military said at least two probable drones loitered for about an hour near the Ørland F-35 base early Saturday before disappearing without interception.
- Defense ministers from about ten EU countries agreed to prioritize a European ‘drone wall’ that starts with expanded detection—acoustic, terrestrial and satellite sensors—across roughly 3,000 km, with costs described as several billions of euros.
- Denmark has labeled the activity ‘hybrid attacks’ and pointed to Russia as the key security threat, while Moscow firmly denied involvement and called the incidents a staged provocation.
- Ukraine offered to share battlefield-tested counter-drone methods, and Denmark accepted Swedish anti-drone support ahead of next week’s EU leaders’ meeting in Copenhagen, as Germany’s interior minister said he will seek legal changes to allow military shoot-downs in defined cases.
