• Denmark imposed a nationwide ban on civilian drone flights through Friday for security around EU meetings in Copenhagen, and requested allied support for counter‑UAS protection.
• Germany is deploying Bundeswehr anti‑drone units to Denmark and has already added Eurofighters for air policing over Poland, while NATO’s Eastern Sentry posture continues.
• Bloomberg reported a confidential Moscow meeting where European envoys warned of potential shoot‑downs for future airspace violations; a German official confirmed the meeting took place as Russia publicly denied culpability and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov escalated rhetoric.
• Baltic leaders pressed NATO to shift from surveillance to a full air‑defense mission with ground‑based systems, as experts highlighted gaps in low‑altitude defenses and legal authorities for drone interdiction.
