"Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen conceded earlier that there may be more to come, as she laid bare the challenge these hybrid attacks pose for the country in a rare TV address. She conceded that the recent events showed vulnerabilities in Denmark's critical infrastructure, but urged citizens not to give in to insecurity and division they were meant to create."
"I consider it a new reality that Denmark and Europe are under more violent and frequent hybrid attacks. In a stark warning, she conceded that Europeans are likely to experience more sabotage and attacks, including on undersea cables or direct attacks on European democracies, as we are now seeing in the small country of Moldova which holds a key election this weekend."
Airspace over Aalborg was briefly closed after unconfirmed reports of drone sightings, though no drones were found. Repeated incidents this week have heightened national unease and exposed vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure. The pattern of hybrid attacks aims to create insecurity and social division using varied methods such as drones, cyber-attacks, disinformation, election interference, and online conspiracy theories. Europe faces increased risk of sabotage, including threats to undersea cables and democratic processes. Moldova's parliamentary election is highlighted as geopolitically significant. Denmark will join other countries for EU talks on a so-called "drone wall" to bolster eastern-flank defenses.
