On September 22, 2025, multiple large drones caused shutdowns at Copenhagen and Oslo airports for several hours, disrupting flights and prompting ongoing police and military investigations into their origin.
On the evening of September 22, 2025, two major northern European airports, Copenhagen in Denmark and Oslo in Norway, experienced disruptive drone incursions that forced temporary closures. Copenhagen Airport was shut down for four hours after two or three large drones were sighted nearby; Oslo Airport also closed its runway and airspace for three hours following two drone sightings. Danish police stated the drones were larger than recreational types and likely flown by a skilled operator. Despite investigations involving police, military, and intelligence services, no suspects or drone captures occurred, and the drones disappeared after the incidents. Flight disruptions included cancellation of late flights to German cities and rerouting of 31 flights from Copenhagen. Officials from Denmark and Norway are jointly investigating whether the events are connected. These drone incursions represent hostile airspace violations and pose threats to critical transportation infrastructure in the region.
Confidence: High
The article describes hostile drone incursions into critical airport airspace in Copenhagen and Oslo causing operational shutdowns, which are clear aggressive acts directed at vital infrastructure. No actors are confirmed but the drone incursions match hostile hybrid tactics.
