Stopping work
Air Space at Oslo Airport in Norway is closed at 11pm due to detection of an unknown droneAnd all flights have been redirected to the nearest airport.
Prior to that, Danish police said Two or three large drones detected near Copenhagen Airportwhich also led to its closure for any traffic.
According to the Flithradar flight service, the airport stopped working at 21:26 on Monday. Nearly 50 flights were redirected to the spare airport, Fligradar told X.
Like the morning of September 23, all Denmark and Norway airports continued to work, but there was still a continuous delay and cancellation of flights. All passengers were called to check the status of their flight from the airlines.
“Big Drones” and “Experienced Operator”
“Police have begun a thorough investigation to determine what kind of drones are,” Kopengagen Jacob Hansen, deputy assistant to the Police Commissar.
“Lost drones, and we didn’t take them“,” He added.
City police officer Denmark Annetta Osttenfeldt cannot clarify whether the UAV is military or civilian.
“But They are obviously more than drones that a private person can buy“,” He told the AFP.
In this regard, Danish police chief Jens Yespersen said, perhaps the drones Controlled “experienced operator”. He added that drones are in Denmark Come from many different directions, including and turn off their lightsand then disappeared after a few hours.
Is Russia involved?
When journalists asked if there were drones of Russian origin, Jacob Hansen said he could not confirm or refute it.
Eventually in a post on social networks, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky noted Nato Airspace’s “breach” in Copenhagen September 22But the source of this information is not indicated.
EU and NATO leaders have not yet commented on Russia’s possible involvement in the incident with drones in Denmark and Norway.
At a press conference on the morning of September 23, Danish police said that No “directly connected” incidents with drones in Norway and Denmark with each other.
Remember that closing of airports tonight has taken place after a series of failures in European airports in recent days. Thus, Kiberaka last Friday disabled the registration and landing system, which influenced the work of the London airport of Khitrovo and Berlin and Brussels airport.
On the weekend and on Monday, the consequences of this attack continue to complicate travel throughout the region.
