Overview

• Norway reported fresh drone incidents that forced a flight to turn back at Bardufoss and prompted diversions near Brønnøysund, with authorities saying the origin remains unclear.
• Denmark imposed a nationwide ban on civilian drone flights through Friday ahead of this week’s EU meetings in Copenhagen, as France deployed 35 troops and a helicopter and Sweden sent radars and counter‑drone systems.
• German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul called the airspace violations deliberate tests of NATO resolve and urged unity and cool heads at meetings in Warsaw, vowing the alliance will protect every centimeter of its territory.
• Defense Minister Boris Pistorius warned Russia is becoming a growing threat to NATO and pressed for stronger, integrated air and drone defenses while cautioning against escalation; EU officials discussed building a coordinated “drones wall.”
• Germany plans legal changes to let the Bundeswehr support police in counter‑drone operations, including narrowly defined shoot‑downs in acute threats, as air traffic control data show a year‑on‑year rise in drone disruptions at German airports.
