Denmark drone attacks: Major update on Russian involvement as source of drones confirmed

There is no evidence that Russia is behind two drone incursions which happened in Denmark in days.

Drone activity was spotted overnight Wednesday into Thursday near Aalborg Airport in northern Denmark, as well as three smaller airports in the country, police said.

Authorities said they were unable to neutralise the drones but added there was no threat to the public.

Speaking at a briefing on Thursday, Denmark's defence minister Troels Lund Poulsenwas asked whether he saw connection between the report that Denmark will acquire missiles that can hit targets in Russia and the lates incidents.

He said: "I have no evidence to say that at all. But in the situation we are in at the moment, there are countries or actors who may have an interest in undermining support for Ukraine. It is of course important that we are also open about that. The crucial thing is that we do not allow ourselves to be intimidated by Russia."
