In a concerning development, drones were observed buzzing near Aalborg Airport in northern Denmark during the early hours of Thursday, September 25, 2025. This incident wasn’t isolated; three other airports across the country also reported similar unauthorized aerial activity, according to police statements.
While authorities confirmed they were unable to intercept or neutralize these mysterious drones, they assured the public that there was no immediate danger. Nevertheless, the airspace disruptions led to flight cancellations and delays lasting several hours.
This series of events follows closely on the heels of a separate, high-profile drone incident that occurred only days prior at Copenhagen Airport. Investigators described the perpetrator of that earlier flyover as a ‘capable actor,’ hinting at sophisticated capabilities.
That previous Monday night, September 22, 2025, the unauthorized drones over Scandinavia’s largest airport brought flights in the Danish capital to a standstill for hours. The nature of the incident immediately fueled speculation and heightened concerns about potential foreign involvement, with some observers pointing towards Russia.
In response to these escalating incidents and public anxiety, the Danish government has scheduled a crucial news conference for Thursday morning, September 25, 2025, to provide updates and address the nation’s security posture.
