Copenhagen Airport has resumed normal operations as of 7:00 AM UTC on September 23rd, 2025, following significant disruptions caused by unidentified drone activity. Danish police are now characterizing the incident on Kastrup as an "attack," according to statements made this morning. The airport had been closed for several hours, leading to 51 diverted flights and 109 cancelled flights during the period from 6:05 AM to 7:05 AM UTC on September 23rd. Danish police are investigating the incidents, with preliminary findings suggesting the drones may have been launched from a ship at sea. The drones reportedly originated from "many kilometers" away and operated from multiple directions, indicating a capable actor. Danish Minister of Defence Troels Lund Poulsen described the drone activity as "deeply serious and worrying," emphasizing the need for Denmark to enhance its security capabilities. In related developments, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously cautioned about potential Russian airspace provocations. Additionally, two foreign nationals were arrested in Oslo on September 22nd for illegally operating a drone near Akershus Fortress, and a drone was seized near Oslo Airport, though a pilot was not present at the time.
