On the night of the 24th, Aalborg Airport in northern Denmark was closed after multiple drones were spotted in the area, prompting authorities to divert incoming flights. According to local police, these drones led to the complete shutdown of the airport, and investigations are currently underway to determine their origin and the identity of potential suspects.
The incident follows a pattern of similar events across Scandinavian countries, raising concerns about broader regional implications. On the 22nd, a swarm of drones at Copenhagen’s Kastrup Airport led to a four-hour closure and disrupted numerous flights. Similarly, Norway had to close Oslo Gardermoen Airport for three hours on the 23rd due to drone activity.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen expressed concern over these incidents, highlighting the threat they pose to essential infrastructure. She emphasized that the drone sightings should be viewed not only as a threat to Denmark but also as a complex threat to Europe as a whole.
