"The defense ministry refused to confirm the sighting at Karup or elsewhere and said that "for reasons of operational security and the ongoing investigation, the Defense Command Denmark does not wish to elaborate further on drone sightings." The ministry clarified later to public broadcaster DR that reports of additional drone activity at Skrydstrup Air Base and the Jutland Dragoon Regiment referred to sightings that didn't occur overnight from Friday to Saturday. Its earlier statement seemed to imply that timing, and was widely reported."
"Tensions have been running high in Denmark in recent days after various reports of drone activity, and hundreds of possible sightings reported by concerned citizens couldn't officially be confirmed. Nonetheless, the public has been asked to report all suspicious activity to police."
"On Saturday, DR and several other local media reported that in Karup, there were drones in the air both inside and outside the fence of the air base at around 8 p.m. on Friday, quoting Simon Skelkjær, the duty manager at the Central and West Jutland Police."
Multiple drones have been observed near several Danish defense facilities, triggering an investigation by Defense Command Denmark and limited public confirmations. Reports included sightings at or near Karup Air Base, Denmark's largest military base, and initial implications of activity at Skrydstrup Air Base and the Jutland Dragoon Regiment. The defense ministry cited operational security and an ongoing investigation when declining to elaborate and later clarified timing details for some reports. Hundreds of possible sightings reported by citizens remain unverified. Police have asked the public to report suspicious activity. Airspace around Karup was briefly closed to civil traffic with little practical impact.
