US EditionNATO to increase presence in the Baltic after Denmark drone incidents
- On September 27, NATO announced plans to enhance its Baltic Sea mission by deploying an air-defence frigate along with additional assets in response to recent drone activity near Danish airports.
- The decision follows several incidents involving large unidentified drones that forced Copenhagen Airport and five smaller civilian and military Danish airports to close temporarily earlier this week and in subsequent days.
- NATO announced that the new deployment will feature enhanced intelligence gathering, monitoring units, and a minimum of one air-defence frigate to strengthen the Baltic Sentry operation initiated in January to safeguard underwater infrastructure.
- On September 27, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov cautioned that any hostile actions toward Russia would provoke a strong reaction, while Germany’s Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt highlighted the significant risk posed by drones and announced plans to bolster the country’s defensive measures.
- The upgrade represents NATO’s most recent move to strengthen its defensive posture and preparedness amid ongoing regional tensions, although the alliance has not explicitly linked the drone incidents to any party, and Russia denies involvement.
