Between September 22 and 28, unidentified drones were spotted over Denmark, Norway, and northern Germany, leading to airport closures and concerns over critical infrastructure. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen labeled the incidents as the most serious attack on Danish infrastructure to date, with speculation of Russian involvement. The drones were seen near military installations and critical infrastructure, prompting the Danish government to consider NATO consultations. In response to the growing threat, Denmark proposed a new law allowing airports and ports to shoot down drones that pose a threat. This proposal comes amid a rise in drone incidents, including previous sightings near Køge and increased activity near airports. The law aims to empower authorities to neutralize drones that do not comply in designated 'drone zones'.
