Sept 26 (Reuters) - The airspace over Denmark's Aalborg
Airport was reopened early on Friday after a closure for the
second night in a row due to suspected drone activity, police
said.
"The airspace over Aalborg Airport has been reopened on
Friday at 00:35 (2235 GMT) after having been shut down due to
suspicion of drone activity," police said in a post on social
media X.
The airspace over Aalborg Airport was closed nearly an hour
earlier at 11:40 p.m. local time (2140 GMT) on Thursday after a
suspected drone sighting in the area, police told news agency
Ritzau.
On the previous evening, Aalborg airport, used for
commercial and military flights, was closed for about three
hours due to drones in its airspace, just days after the
country's main Copenhagen airport was shut over drone sightings
that raised European security concerns.
Denmark's defence minister said on Thursday the nightly
drone sorties were hybrid attacks, combining military and covert
tactics, and were aimed at spreading fear.
Danish officials said it was still unclear who was behind the
incidents, and Denmark had not yet decided whether to invoke
NATO's Article 4, which allows members to request consultations
over any security concerns.
