Overview

• Runways were closed late Thursday after multiple reports of drones near and over the airfield, and police searches, including a helicopter sweep, found neither devices nor suspects.
• The shutdown left passengers stuck overnight as cots were set up in the terminal and several flights were diverted during the airport’s restricted night hours.
• Police said it remained unclear whether one or several drones were involved, and investigators have not determined who is responsible.
• In Norway, police briefly detained three German men over an alleged drone launch within the five‑kilometre restricted zone around Røssvoll airport before releasing them.
• Norwegian police expelled and fined a Chinese national for flying a drone at Svolvær airport, and Norway’s PST said there is no confirmed state attribution, as German probes examine possible espionage and a reported lead to a suspicious cargo ship.
