Denmark on Alert as Drone Sightings Spark NATO Response in Baltic Sea

The incidents, which occurred overnight, follow a string of similar reports in recent days, including drone activity near airports and military bases.

In response, NATO announced it will step up its vigilance in the Baltic Sea under its “Baltic Sentry” mission. The alliance is deploying additional intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms, along with at least one air-defense frigate, to bolster regional security.

The heightened tensions come just days before Copenhagen hosts a major European Union summit, underscoring the growing unease over hybrid threats in northern Europe.
