“We cannot accept that foreign drones create uncertainty and turmoil in society, as we have witnessed recently. At the same time, Denmark will host the leaders of the European Union next week, as we will have an additional focus on security,” Danish Transport Minister Thomas Danielsen said in a statement.

The tensions have risen in Denmark in recent days after reports of the activity of drones, and hundreds of possible scenes reported by the concerned citizens who could not be formally confirmed. However, the public was asked to report all suspicious activity of the police.

Danish Minister of Justice Peter Hamgard said on September 25 that the goal of the neighbor is to sow fear and division, adding that the country will search for additional ways to neutralize drones, including the suggestion of legislation to allow infrastructure owners to drop them.

Speaking to the Russian media in comments issued on Sunday, the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said any attempt by NATO to shoot down Russian or Belarusian planes will face an “immediate response”.

He said: “Let them try, let them shoot. Or they will drop something Russian on Kalinigrad. Then, of course, we will have to fight, as they say in Russia, with everything we have. Is this necessary? No.”

The release of Lukashenko’s comments came after the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the United Nations General Assembly on Saturday that his nation does not intend to attack Europe, but it would include a “decisive response” to any aggression.

“I think people will regret heavily if they commit the most flagrant violations of our regional safety and regional sovereignty,” Lavrov said, including “attempts to drop … anything in general on our lands, in our air field.”
