Danish authorities shut down Aalborg airport and placed three additional facilities on high alert following unauthorized drone incursions. Officials characterized these aerial intrusions as coordinated hybrid attacks targeting critical infrastructure across the nation. Deputy Prime Minister Troels Lund Poulsen announced that Denmark had reached out to NATO and the European Union regarding the incidents. The government granted authorization to military forces to destroy any future threatening drones.
Four airports experienced disruptions overnight, with Aalborg bearing the most severe impact from the three-hour aerial interference. Poulsen acknowledged Denmark lacks adequate ground-based defense systems to counter such threats effectively. Similar drone activities previously disrupted Copenhagen airport operations on Monday, prompting Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to label these events as Denmark's most serious infrastructure attacks. Norwegian officials also reported comparable incidents at Oslo airport, leading to collaborative investigations between both Scandinavian nations.
