Overview
- Danish police reported one or two drones over Karup Air Base on Friday night, prompting a brief closure of nearby airspace and marking the latest in a week of incursions over military sites.
- Earlier incidents forced temporary airport shutdowns, including a roughly four-hour closure at Copenhagen that delayed about 20,000 travelers, and authorities describe the pattern as hybrid activity.
- Military intelligence says it cannot identify the perpetrators, while Denmark’s PET warns the risk of Russian-linked sabotage is high, though no formal attribution has been made.
- Ukraine said its air defenses neutralized 97 of 115 Russian drones overnight, with strikes damaging rail infrastructure in Odesa, causing temporary power outages in Zaporizhzhia, and injuring at least one person in Dnipropetrovsk.
- Russia’s defense ministry claimed control of Derilove and Maiske in Donetsk and Stepove in Dnipropetrovsk, and regional officials in Chuvashia reported an oil pumping station halted operations after an alleged Ukrainian drone strike; EU ministers, meanwhile, have prioritized building an “anti-drone wall.”
