The repeated violations of our airspace are unacceptable. The message is clear: Russia is testing the EU and NATO. And our response must be firm, united and immediate, EU Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius said after chairing a virtual meeting of 10 countries on Europe's eastern flank on Friday. Kubilius, who called the meeting a milestone, said the drone shield could take a year to build, and that envoys from the countries would meet soon to develop a detailed conceptual and technical roadmap for the path ahead.

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.
