NATO countries: Drone sightings for military bases in Denmark and Norway

After the latest drone incidents, aircraft were spotted at two military airfields in Denmark and Norway. According to the Ritzau news agency, the Karup military base was affected in Denmark, the Karup military base, the country’s largest. “One or two drones” were spotted, said a security spokesman. The airspace over the area was temporarily closed to civil air traffic, but this had not had significant effects.

The incident occurred on Friday evening, and the sighting on Saturday was public. It is open whether there is a connection to the drone sightings of the past few days.

In Norway, the authorities reported two drone sightings at the Ørland military airfield, on which type F-35 of the Norwegian armed forces are stationed. Both drones have been observed over a longer period of time, the NTB news agency wrote. The background is still unclear.

The sighting of several larger drones had led to hours of full closure of the Danish capital airport in Copenhagen on Monday evening. In the night from Wednesday to Thursday, other smaller airports were affected in the country – all in Jutland near the German border. The military base Karup is also in this region.

So far, the Danish authorities have not published any information that provides information about who could be responsible for the drone flights. The government speaks of a “hybrid attack”. Investigators assume a professional player with the necessary skills that wants to create unrest in NATO country. In a message from his message in Denmark on Thursday, Russia rejected suspicions of being responsible for the incidents.
