NATO announced on Saturday that it is stepping up its presence in the Baltic Sea with new surveillance and air-defence assets following a series of drone incidents in Denmark.
The Danish Armed Forces confirmed that unidentified drones were detected near military installations overnight. This came after several incursions earlier in the week, which forced the temporary shutdown of Copenhagen Airport, the busiest in the Nordic region and five smaller airports, both civilian and military.
Copenhagen Airport was closed for several hours on Monday after large drones entered its airspace, while other airports were briefly shut in the following days.
