Danish police have reported drone activity similar to that seen at Copenhagen airport earlier this week, leading to the closure of Aalborg airport, a significant commercial and military aviation hub in northern Denmark. The sighting of multiple unidentified drones follows a similar pattern to the incidents at Copenhagen airport, which was temporarily shut down due to similar drone sightings.
These drones were observed near Aalborg airport early on Thursday, continuing into the morning when authorities said they had left the area but were seen near other airports in the country. Police have initiated an investigation but have not yet determined the purpose or origin of the drones. The Danish armed forces are assisting with the investigation but have not provided further comments.
Eurocontrol, the agency responsible for European air traffic control, stated that flights to and from Aalborg airport would not resume until Thursday morning due to the drone activity. The incident highlights the growing concern over the potential threat posed by drones to critical infrastructure, an issue that has also affected airports in Norway and Poland, with the possibility of a larger pattern of interference being suggested. Authorities, including the Danish Prime Minister and the European Commission President, have raised concerns about the security implications of such incidents, with Russia being mentioned as a possible culprit by some. However, the Kremlin has denied any involvement, stating that Russian aircraft always operate in accordance with international laws.
