Denmark’s Copenhagen International Airport suspended
operations after authorities spotted several unidentified large UAVs in its
vicinity on Sept. 22, Reuters reported.
“CPH Airport is currently closed for take-off and landing, as 2-3 large drones have been seen flying in the area; the [closure] time horizon is currently unknown,” Copenhagen Police said in a statement on Twitter.
Flight-tracking service FlightRadar24 showed the airport halted operations at 8:26 p.m. local time, forcing about 35 flights to divert to other airports.
An airport spokesman said police are working to identify the drones but declined to provide further details, citing the ongoing investigation.
At roughly the same time, Norwegian police announced that two foreign citizens were arrested in Oslo “for flying drones over restricted area,” according to a report by the CNN.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
