According to TV2, Denmark experienced a series of serious security incidents during the late hours of Wednesday evening and into the early hours of Thursday morning, as \u201cDurnat\u201d drones penetrated the airspace over several airports in the Jutland region, disrupting air traffic and causing widespread concern on both the security and political levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unprecedented drone activity at several airports<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The website reported that drones were seen over the airports of Aalborg, Esbjerg, S\u00f8nderborg and Skrydstrup, and Billund Airport was temporarily closed following reports of similar activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two ministers at a press conference: \u201cHybrid attack\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen and Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard held a press conference Thursday morning, confirming that the incident was a \u201chybrid attack\u201d by a \u201cprofessional actor.\u201d Hummelgaard explained that the government would work to equip the country with new and rapid defense capabilities to deal with such threats in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Concerns from a close source<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The defense minister said the drones were \u201cmost likely launched from nearby areas,\u201d adding: \u201cI cannot pinpoint their exact origin, but they did not come from far away.\u201d. Raising the level of emergency preparedness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n National Police Director General Thorkild Fogde announced that the National Operations Authority (NOST) has raised its readiness level to operate around the clock. This authority comprises the National Police, the Security and Intelligence Service, the Military Intelligence Service, the Defence Command, the Emergency Situations Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Supply Security Agency, the Ministry of Health, and the Transport Agency, with the possibility of involving other agencies as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Political reactions and analyses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n According to TV2, TV2's political editor Hans Redder said the government faces a "huge explanatory problem," stressing that "drones flew for hours over the country's most important infrastructure without any real interception," which raises questions about the readiness of the defenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In another analysis, Reeder added that the press conference \u201cleft the impression that the government is not in control of the situation,\u201d as it did not provide clear answers as to why the drones were not detected or shot down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The position of the army and military leadership<\/strong> Danish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The commander of the armed forces, Michael Hyldgaard, explained that the events constituted \u201cactual operations,\u201d emphasizing that the decision to shoot down drones was based on a comprehensive assessment of the risk of debris falling on civilians. He stressed that \u201cshooting down a single drone will not solve the problem; the goal is to gather data to identify those responsible.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consideration of invoking Article 4 of NATO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The defense minister revealed that the government is considering invoking Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty (NATO), which allows any member state to call for an emergency meeting if it feels its security or safety is threatened. He emphasized that this would be "unprecedented in Denmark's history," noting that his country has already contacted NATO and the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Requesting assistance from Ukraine and building a "wall of drones"\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Poulsen announced that Denmark would benefit from Ukraine\u2019s experience in countering drone attacks, revealing plans to create a \u201cwall of drones\u201d that would form a defensive shield against threats coming from Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Responses from other airports<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In Odense, Hans Okholm Airport Director Hans Okholm confirmed to the Fyens Stiftstidende newspaper that the airport had not experienced similar activity, but stressed the seriousness of the matter, explaining that the airport had increased its level of surveillance with the help of specialized companies such as MyDefence, Bionic System Solutions and CircleScope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conflicting information in Holstebro<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TV Midtvest reported that initial reports spoke of police seeing a drone over a military barracks in Holstbro, but police later clarified that this was a \u201cmisunderstanding\u201d based on eyewitness testimony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next steps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The defense minister said a meeting would be held on Friday to discuss building stronger defense capabilities against aerial threats, emphasizing that "technology is evolving rapidly, and this is a race against time." He also stressed that "the new reality requires greater preparedness to counter hybrid attacks.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, the identity of the party responsible for these attacks remains unknown so far, while the Danish authorities have pledged to find the perpetrators and strengthen the country\u2019s defense capabilities to protect its airspace and airports.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u0648\u0641\u0642\u0627\u064b \u0644\u0645\u0648\u0642\u0639 TV2 \u0641\u0642\u062f \u0634\u0647\u062f\u062a
