Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Several European leaders were to participate in talks Friday afternoon to discuss a "drone wall" to prevent drone attacks from Russia or others.
The event stems from recent unidentified drone sightings in Denmark over Skrydstrup air base as well as Esbjerg and Sonderborg. The country has had to close Aalborg Airport for the second time in three days for safety concerns.
Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulson said in a news briefing that the pattern of attacks appeared to be a "professional actor."
"This is an arms race against time because technology is constantly evolving," Lund Poulsen said. "We are going to find the people who are behind this."
