Drones shut down another airport in Denmark days after Copenhagen airport sightings
An airport in Denmark shut down all flights after unidentified drones entered into controlled airspace — just days after a similar mystery sighting suspended traffic at a Copenhagen airport, according officials.
All inbound and outbound flights at Aalborg Airport were halted on Wednesday night when several unmanned aircraft were spotted hovering above the Danish runways, according to Flight Radar.

“Drones have been observed near Aalborg Airport and the airspace has been closed. The police are present and investigating further,” Nordjyllands Police said in a statement posted to X.
Officials said police are observing the drone activity and that they will take down the mysterious flyers if given the chance.
“We cannot yet comment on the purpose of the drones flying in the area, nor can we say anything about who the actor behind it is,” chief inspector Jesper Bøjgaard Madsen said in a statement issued Wednesday night.
“If we get the opportunity, we will take down the drones,” the chief warned.
At least three flights have been diverted from Aalborg Airport including two SAS planes, one Norwegian Airlines plane, and one KLM Royal Dutch Airways flight, Sky News reported.
The airport stoppage comes after “2-3 large drones” of unknown origin took to the sky and shut down flights at Kastrup Airport in Copenhagen on Monday.
That same night a separate drone incident took place at the airport in Oslo, Norway, Norwegian broadcaster NRK reported.
The prime minister of Denmark called the incursion “the most serious attack on Danish critical infrastructure to date.”
“We are obviously not ruling out any options in relation to who is behind it,” Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Tuesday.
“I certainly cannot deny in any way that it is Russia,” she added.
The Russo-centric speculation comes just two weeks after at least 19 Russian drones were shot down deep inside Poland after a ‘reckless’ incursion.
Those crafts were cheap Russian Gerbera drones which the bellicose nation has deployed for reconnaissance during the war with Ukraine, a Polish army official told Reuters.
During comments at the UN Tuesday, President Trump endorsed the idea that NATO countries should be shooting down Russian drones in their airspace.
