Denmark Restricts Civilian Drone Operations
The Danish capital is hosting a major European summit under heightened tension following a surge of unauthorized drone activity. Several airports were temporarily closed, and military facilities went on high alert as unidentified drones were detected. Authorities have responded by banning all civilian drone flights across the country, citing threats to both infrastructure and public safety.
Allies Provide Reinforcements to Secure the Summit
To support Denmark’s security efforts, neighboring countries have sent personnel and equipment. Sweden, Germany, and France deployed troops, surveillance systems, and anti-drone technology to help safeguard the event. Officials characterized the operation as unusually comprehensive, reflecting concerns that the drone incidents may have been intentional. No official attribution has yet been made.
Leaders Discuss Joint Defense Initiatives
The summit brings together EU leaders and members of the European Political Community to focus on regional security and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Among the proposals under consideration is the establishment of a “drone wall” along Europe’s eastern borders to prevent further airspace intrusions. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stressed that the recent drone activity should serve as a warning, urging member states to strengthen collaborative defense measures.
