North Jutland Police clarified that airports in Sønderborg and Esbjerg have not been closed in connection with reported drone flights, noting that no scheduled air traffic is expected until Thursday morning in Sønderborg and 8 AM in Esbjerg. This statement comes as a Finnish drone is closely monitoring the Russian-flagged vessel 'Astrol 1,' suspected of involvement in earlier drone flights over Danish territory, with additional drone sightings reported over a Danish airport during the past 30 minutes. While the specific airport experiencing the latest drone activity was not identified by police, the clarification addresses potential airport closures in Sønderborg and Esbjerg. The ongoing monitoring of the 'Astrol 1' vessel by a Finnish drone suggests a continued investigation into the origins of the drone activity. Previous reports from the past 24 hours indicated widespread drone activity near airports in Esbjerg, Sønderborg, and Aalborg, leading to temporary airspace closures and the deployment of NATO F-16 jets. Authorities previously stated there was no evidence indicating the drones were private or commercial. In related news, Denmark has permitted Ukraine's Fire Point to construct a solid rocket fuel plant near Skrydstrup Air Base, intended to be Ukraine's first defense production facility on NATO soil. Finnish President Alexander Stubb has commented on Russia testing NATO's responses and the progress in Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations, partly attributed to President Trump's efforts. The vessel Oslo Carrier 3 also remained under suspicion in connection with a drone incident in Copenhagen.
