Drone alarm signal about Karup: Denmark in great danger!
On Friday evening, September 27, 2025, two drones that were not identified were spotted above the Karup air force base, the largest military base in Denmark. These stayed in the air for several hours and their origin has so far been unknown. Government representatives speculate whether it is a possible "hybrid attack", as vienna.at.
The situation led to the temporary blocking of the airspace around the base for civil air traffic. On Saturday morning, the TV broadcaster TV Midtvest informed the public about the incident. The police described the situation as "operation" because the drones moved both inside and outside the airfield. Units of the Danish armed forces are currently in use. However, it remains unclear whether the drones could be intercepted or identified.
Systematic threat from drones
The Danish government describes the drone flights as a systematic threat. According to further sightings, this has been reported that have been reported over several locations in the past few days, including airports and military locations. Affected airports include Aalborg, Esbjerg and Sönderborg. The first sightings took place on Thursday evening in Aalborg, where different types of drone are said to have been used. So far, however, the exact types are unknown. Danish authorities suspect that civilian fishing cutters or cargo ships could serve as bases for the drone flights, reports [ZDF] (https://www.zdfheute.de/politik/ausland/daenemark-drohnen-fluhafen-- reaction-nato-100.html).
The police have already started the evaluation of surveillance cameras and is looking for traces. So far, however, no drones have been ensured, and police units are used around the clock. The Danish military decided against the shooting of the drones to ensure the security of the citizens. Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard is also planning a draft law to increase the possibilities of shooting drones.
NATO and safety precautions
The Danish government is considering applying for Article 4 of NATO, while NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte Denmark has guaranteed solidarity and close cooperation. In addition, NATO intensifies air space monitoring over the North and Baltic Sea. In the current situation, Turkey has moved AWACS monitoring aircraft to Lithuania to observe the situation. In the meantime, Russia has denied any connection to the drone operations, while Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius describes the incidents as part of President Vladimir Putin's strategy.
In this tense atmosphere, there are also considerable failures at the Copenhagen and Oslo airports due to drone sightings. The Danish government sees the drone flights as targeted actions by a professional actor and it is assumed from a possible attack. In this context, the legal framework for drone operations in Denmark and Germany are also emphasized, which provide high penalties in the event of violations of aviation.
The reports on suspicious drone flights are not limited to Denmark. In Germany, similar incidents about military facilities in Rhineland-Palatinate, such as the US military bases Ramstein and Spangdahlem, were registered. It may be an orchestrated procedure that is classified in the context of hybrid warfare, as reports [LIVEYE] (https://www.liveye.com/blog/Drrohnen attacks-als-hybride-wiegsfuehr/).
