"The latest incidents in Danish skies follow similar events in Poland and Romania and the violation by Russian fighter jets of Estonia's airspace, which have raised tensions in light of Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Drones were spotted at Denmark's airports in Aalborg, Esbjerg, Snderborg and at the Skrydstrup air base before leaving on their own, police said. Aalborg airport, located in northern Denmark and one of the country's biggest after Copenhagen, was shut down before reopening several hours later."
""It was not possible to take down the drones, which flew over a very large area over a couple of hours," North Jutland chief police inspector Jesper Bjgaard Madsen said about the incident in Aalborg. "At this time, we have not apprehended the drone operators either," he added in a statement. South Jutland police said they had "received several reports of drone activity at the airports in Esbjerg, Snderborg and Skrydstrup", late Wednesday evening."
Multiple drones were observed over airports in Aalborg, Esbjerg, Snderborg and the Skrydstrup air base and departed on their own, prompting operational disruptions. Aalborg airport was shut for several hours before reopening after drones flew across a large area and evaded attempts to be taken down; operators have not been apprehended. South Jutland police received several reports and witnesses observed lit drones from the ground, while drone types and motives remain unclear. Authorities opened an investigation involving the Danish intelligence service and the armed forces. The incidents follow similar events in other European countries and occur amid heightened tensions related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
