Drones over Danish airport ground flights, spark fears of Russian intrusion
Global News
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov brushed off suggestions that Russia could be involved in the drone flyover in Copenhagen on Monday.
Drones spotted flying in Danish airspace over Copenhagen Airport on Monday night prompted the grounding of flights and a total closure of the airport, as concerns swirled that Russia could be behind the flyover.
Police stated that there was no indication that the operators of two to three drones intended to cause harm to anyone, and that the drones disappeared after several hours, according to the Associated Press.
Nonetheless, the incident caused a major disruption to air traffic flying in and out of Scandinavia’s largest airport.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said during a press conference in Brussels on Tuesday that she considered the presence of the drones “a serious attack against critical infrastructure in Denmark.”
Though it has not been confirmed that Russia was responsible for the flyover, NATO’s Secretary-General, Mark Rutte, said the security alliance would stand firm with its allies in the event of a Russian incursion.
“Our shared commitment to collective defence is unshakeable. We do not want to see a continuation of this dangerous pattern by Russia, intentional or not. But we stand ready and willing to continue to defend every inch of allied territory,” he told reporters in Brussels.
Denmark — already on edge because of its proximity to Russia and recent incursions of Russian drones as well as military aircraft in Finland and Estonia — will join a group of front-line countries Friday to discuss the European Union’s plans for a “drone wall.”
Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov brushed off suggestions that Russia could be involved in the flyover.
