Friedrixen added that Russian participation cannot be excluded.

The Danish Prime Minister was associated with the events of last night in Denmark with Russian drones in Poland and Romania, As well as violating the Astony airspace by Russian combat aircraft.

“Someone may necessarily want to attack us, but bother us and see how we interact,” said Fleming Dreger, Denmark Operations Director for Intelligence Service.

Police inspector, Jens Jesperson, said that a number of large drones that came from different directions were “very far away” at Copenhagen airport.

“The will and tools to appear … perhaps also to practice.

Anas Jiberson told reporters that the police did not drop drones because the airport is located in an area built extensively and because there are planes in the air.

In a publication on social media, Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski pointed to “Russia’s violation” of the NATO airspace in Copenhagen on September 22.

Insp Jespersen refused to comment on Zelensky allegations.

“This is not because I do not want it, because this is because I simply do not know,” he said.

The Norwegian Police Security Service said it is working to clarify whether seeing unconfirmed drones at Oslo Airport could be linked to drones that have been observed in Denmark.

Oslo Airport was closed between 00:30 and 03:30, and the fourteenth flight had to be transferred.

The Norwegian government said that Russia has violated the Norwegian airspace three times in 2025 – in April, July and August – adding that it is unclear whether this was deliberate or as a result of mobility errors.

“Regardless of the reason, this is unacceptable,” said Prime Minister Jonas Jamar.

Tensions are escalating recently after planes ventured Russian aircraft and aircraft in the central and eastern airspace, three and a half years after Moscow launched its invasion on a large scale for Ukraine.

Earlier in September At least three Russian drones have been shot down by Polish and other NATO aircraft in the Boland air fields. Moscow denied that it was trying to target the facilities on the Polish soil.

A similar incident occurred in Romania just a few days after When a drone flew to the Roman airspace before it disappeared from the radar.

On Saturday, three fighter planes from the Russian Mig-31 entered the Estonian sky and remained there for 12 minutes, which led to the relief of NATO aircraft. NATO said in a statement on Tuesday that the incursions were part of “a wider pattern of increasingly irresponsible Russian behavior.”

In recent days, Poland stated that it would drop any things that violate the airspace, while Sweden promised to do the same if any Russian plane monitored its sky.

In response to Russia’s incursions into Poland and Romania, NATO pledged to transport forces and fighting aircraft east.

Aircraft from the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Denmark participate in air defense duties on Poland in an attempt to strengthen the oriental wing of the coalition.
