STOCKHOLM: Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said Monday Russia was likely behind mysterious drone flights over several Scandinavian airports ahead of an EU summit in Copenhagen. Drone sightings across Norway and Denmark in particular since September 22 have prompted the closure of several airports. Speaking to broadcaster TV4, Kristersson said “the likelihood of this being about Russia wanting to send a message to countries supporting Ukraine is quite high” but stressed that “nobody really, really knows.”.

Drones have been seen flying over several Danish airports since Wednesday, which prompted Copenhagen Airport to shut down.

In neighboring Germany, several drones were reported in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein, which borders Denmark, from Thursday into Friday night.
