• Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen labeled recent events hybrid attacks and singled out Russia as a threat to European security, an accusation Moscow firmly denied as a staged provocation.
• Norway said it is investigating likely drone sightings near its Ørland air base housing F‑35s, noting at least two drones were observed for about an hour and not intercepted.
• NATO said it is adding intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets and deploying at least one air‑defense frigate to the Baltic region, while EU ministers advanced plans for a ‘drone wall’ and Denmark accepted Swedish counter‑drone technology for next week’s summit in Copenhagen.
• Germany announced plans to change air‑security rules so the armed forces can shoot down intrusive drones after reporting a drone swarm over Schleswig‑Holstein, and Ukraine reported a separate massive overnight strike with hundreds of drones and missiles as Poland mobilized its air force preventively.
