"Denmark's Aalborg airport was closed due to drones in its airspace, local police said early on Thursday, two days after the country's main Copenhagen airport was shut over drone sightings that rattled European aviation. Danish national police said the drones followed a similar pattern to the ones that had halted flights at Copenhagen airport for four hours a few days earlier."
"Northern Jutland police told reporters that more than one drone had been sighted near Aalborg airport and they were flying with lights on. The drones were first sighted at about 9.44 pm local time on Wednesday, according to police, and remained in the airspace at the time of the press briefing at 12.05 am on Thursday. Northern Jutland police said they could not specify the type of drones or whether they were the same as the ones flying over Copenhagen airport on Monday."
Aalborg airport was closed after multiple drones were sighted in its airspace, affecting both civilian flights and military operations. The drones appeared to follow a pattern similar to ones that halted flights at Copenhagen airport two days earlier. Northern Jutland police reported the drones were flying with lights on and remained in the airspace several hours after first being sighted at about 9.44 pm. Three flights were diverted to other airports and arrivals and departures were set to zero until 0400 GMT. Danish authorities linked the Copenhagen incident to suspected Russian drone incursions and other European disruptions. Norwegian and Danish officials are coordinating investigations but no connection has been established.
