Copenhagen Airport, Denmark's largest, was closed following the sighting of 2-3 large drones. All take-offs and landings were halted, with flights diverted to alternative airports. The incident, which remains unresolved, highlights the potential risks drones pose to airspace security.
Denmark's largest airport, Copenhagen Airport, experienced a complete shutdown on Monday evening after multiple large drones were sighted in the vicinity, according to local police.
In a social media post on X, authorities reported that both take-off and landing operations were suspended at 20:26 local time (18:26 GMT), with no immediate information on when activities might resume.
