Overview

  • Allied Maritime Command said the German air-defense frigate FGS Hamburg arrived in Copenhagen on September 28 to support expanded Baltic Sentry activities.
  • NATO is reinforcing the region with additional intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms alongside air-defense frigates, though specific contributors were not disclosed.
  • Denmark has halted civilian drone flights for the week, and European partners are providing counter‑drone capabilities for an EU summit in the capital on Wednesday and a wider leaders’ meeting the next day.
  • Danish officials have described the incidents as a possible hybrid attack without assigning blame, while Russia has rejected allegations of involvement.
  • Recent drone sightings in Denmark form part of a broader pattern across the region, with NATO also launching Eastern Sentry earlier this month after incursions into Polish airspace.
