**Headline: Drone Sightings Near Military Sites Trigger Security Concerns in Denmark and Norway**
**Copenhagen, September 27, 2025 (IST)** – Unidentified drones were observed flying near Danish military installations overnight, the Armed Forces announced Saturday, escalating concerns after a week of similar incursions near airports and critical infrastructure. Authorities are investigating the incidents as potential “hybrid attacks.”
According to a statement released by the Danish Defence, drones were spotted at multiple Defence locations, prompting the deployment of resources to monitor the situation. While specific locations were not disclosed by the Armed Forces, police confirmed sightings near the Karup air base in western Denmark, as reported by Ritzau News agency.
Simultaneously, Norwegian police are investigating possible drone sightings near the Oerland air force base in central Norway, the primary base for the country’s F-35 fighter jets. A spokesperson from the Norwegian Armed Forces’ joint headquarters confirmed that guards at the base made multiple observations outside the base’s perimeter early Saturday.
The recent incidents follow the temporary closure of Copenhagen Airport, the Nordic region’s busiest, on Monday evening due to the presence of several large drones in its airspace. Five smaller airports, both civilian and military, were also temporarily shut down in the days following.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen described the incursions as the most serious attack on Danish critical infrastructure to date. Authorities are currently working to determine the origin and purpose of the drones.
