On Monday, September 22, drones flew over a military base in France. Link.
Drones have been seen near military facilities including Denmark's largest, following a series of incidents that caused air disruption earlier this week.
The devices were observed above Karup airbase, among others, forcing it to briefly close its airspace to commercial traffic. Possible sightings were also reported in Germany, Norway and Lithuania.
It is the latest in a string of suspicious drone activity in Denmark, raising concerns about the nation's vulnerability to aerial attack and sparking fears of potential Russian involvement.
Danish authorities said Thursday's incursions appeared to be a "hybrid attack", but cautioned that they had no evidence to suggest Moscow was behind it. Link BBC
Unknown drones were spotted over the Swedish archipelago of Karlskrona on the night of 25-26 September.
The police were called to the scene, and the officers themselves could see the suspicious drones.
"It is a larger type [of drone], similar to the one that was over Denmark and Skåne [southern Sweden – ed.]," said Mattias Lundgren, an investigation leader at the Karlskrona police.
On Thursday evening, several residents of two local settlements reported a suspicious drone.
"It is currently unclear what the object is, but we have filed a report of a violation of aviation law," commented Mattias Lundgren.
According to the police coordination centre, several witnesses saw two drones with red and green lights. Neither object was recovered, and there are no suspects in the case. However, the police see a clear connection with recent events in Denmark and Norway. Link here
