“Denmark has closed its airspace to all civilian drone flights ahead of a major European Union defense summit in Copenhagen this week, after a spate of recent drone sightings near airports amplified security concerns. Denmark was one of several European countries that reported unidentified drone sightings over the past week, which prompted airport closures and widespread travel disruption. The sightings — which officials have attributed to unnamed foreign actors — rattled Europe, already on high alert because of recent incursions by Russian aircraft in the airspace of Poland, Estonia and Romania. Denmark’s transport minister, Thomas Danielson, cited the sightings in announcing that his country’s airspace would be closed to civilian drones from Monday to Friday to ensure ‘extra focus on safety’ around the summit.” (09/29/25)
