Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has denounced the recent drone incident at Copenhagen Airport as ‘the most serious attack’ on Denmark’s critical infrastructure. The incident, which occurred at the country’s main airport, led to the diversion of multiple flights, causing significant disruptions to air travel and raising alarms about potential threats to national security.
During an address to the nation, Frederiksen emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating that the incident demonstrated the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to unconventional threats. The government has since announced plans to enhance security measures at all major airports, including increased surveillance and the deployment of advanced drone detection systems.
Authorities have not yet identified the perpetrators or the motive behind the attack. However, the incident has sparked a debate about the need for stricter regulations on drone usage, particularly in urban and sensitive areas. The Danish government is also considering legislation to criminalize unauthorized drone flights that pose a threat to public safety or critical infrastructure.
