Mysterious Aerial Disruptions at Copenhagen Airport: No Drones Found
Police closed a nine-month probe after finding no evidence the objects were drones, though no suspects were identified.
On Thursday, Danish police closed a nine-month investigation into flying objects that shut down Copenhagen Airport last year, finding no evidence to prove they were drones.
The incidents were viewed by authorities as part of a growing pattern of suspected hybrid warfare targeting critical infrastructure across the Nordic and Baltic region.
Chief Police Inspector Soren Thomassen told reporters, "We cannot confirm that there has been drone activity in and around the airport. At the same time... we cannot rule out the possibility that there has been drone activity." No suspects were identified.
In a report published last week, the Danish Armed Forces confirmed drones had flown over military installations during September 2025, with the police responsible for any criminal prosecution.
Justice Minister Nicolai Wammen cited ongoing cyberattacks against European airports and an upcoming European Union summit in Copenhagen as key security priorities for the government.
In the fall, Copenhagen Police said that a “capable actor” was behind the flight of drones over Copenhagen Airport, which was also called an “attack.” Now, the police district cannot prove that there were drones.
