Denmark is considering invoking NATO Article 4 following drone intrusions over Danish airports and airbases, which officials described as an "attack" by a "professional actor" against the country. This consideration comes after a Russian man was convicted earlier this month for producing explosives and making blasts at Billund Airport, with the State Attorney in Viborg having appealed the case. This would mark the third request for consultations under NATO Article 4 in the past two weeks due to potential hostile actions by Russia. This development follows reports of ongoing drone activity over Danish airports and military sites in Jutland, including Aalborg Airport, which has experienced multiple closures and re-openings on September 25th. Danish police have stated they are unable to trace the operators of these drones, which have been observed over military installations housing F-16 and F-35 fighter jets. Prime Minister Frederiksen had previously discussed the situation with the Secretary General of NATO, agreeing on collaboration for safety and security. In related international news, the United States scrambled fighter jets, an E-3 AWACS, and multiple KC-135 tanker aircraft on September 25th as Russian aircraft approached the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone. This incident follows a similar NORAD tracking of Russian aircraft within the Alaskan ADIZ on September 24th.
