""Russia should be in no doubt: NATO and Allies will employ, in accordance with international law, all necessary military and non-military tools to defend ourselves and deter all threats from all directions," NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told reporters in Brussels. The 32-member alliance was holding urgent talks after a Russian jet was spotted over Estonia last week, which came shortly after Russian drones were shot down over Poland and spotted over Romania."
"The statement came after large drones were seen circling above the airport in the Danish capital on Monday. Copenhagen airport was shut for several hours, as was the airport in Oslo, Norway, where drones were also seen flying overheard. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the incident "the most serious attack on Danish critical infrastructure." While authorities said that they had not yet identified a culprit, the scale of the attack suggested a "capable actor" and Frederiksen said Russian involvement "could not be ruled out.""
