Denmark bans civil drones after more sightings

Denmark is closing its entire airspace to civilian drones. The ban comes as the Nordic country prepares to host European leaders after a flurry of suspicious drone activity in recent days.

Denmark has called the drones part of a "hybrid attack" but the government has stopped short of saying definitively who it believes is behind the missions. Nevertheless, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said Russia is the main "country that poses a threat to European security." It is not clear who is behind the drone missions but Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte have both said the notion of Russia being the perpetrator could not be ruled out.
