NATO Boosts Baltic Vigilance After Second Night of Unidentified Drones Over Danish Bases

European capitals accelerate counter‑drone measures, from Danish restrictions to a German push for military shoot‑down authority.

Overview

  • Danish forces reported drones over several military sites for a second consecutive night, after police earlier confirmed one to two drones near the Karup base, with no airports closed during the latest incidents.
  • Norway is investigating probable drone activity near its Ørland air base after at least two devices were observed for about an hour and were not intercepted.
  • NATO said it is increasing intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance in the Baltic region and deploying at least one air‑defense frigate while remaining in close contact with Danish authorities.
  • EU countries advanced plans for a multilayered “drone wall” with Ukrainian expertise, Denmark accepted Swedish anti‑drone support, and civilian drone flights will be barred in Danish airspace ahead of next week’s EU summit in Copenhagen.
  • Denmark’s leaders described the incidents as hybrid attacks and hinted at Russian involvement, Moscow issued a firm denial, and Germany moved to revise laws to let the military down drones posing threats.
