Copenhagen airport, the largest in Denmark, has reopened and began to resume the flight operation hours after the sighting of several who have finally abandoned the area.
“The Copenhagen airport reopens after remaining closed due to drone activity. However, there will be delays and flight cancellations,” the authorities of the (CPH) have announced in their social network account X after 1.00 hours, after the Denmark Police has indicated around 21.40 hours on the same platform as “two or three large drones have been sighted by flying over the area.”
Danish police officers are still present at the airport working to clarify what happened, he has indicated to the state chain Dr the inspector Jakob Hansen, who has also announced that they are cooperating with the Oslo authorities, after the airport of the capital of Norway has been forced to close several hours and divert their flights for the same cause.
For his part, the president of Ukraine, has pointed to Russia as responsible for these incursions, an extreme that Hansen has not been able to confirm or deny.
In an X publication on its meeting in New York with the director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, the Ukrainian president said that “we dedicate special attention to the violations of the airspace of the NATO Member States by Russia, including those of September 22 in Copenhagen.”
“We exchange opinions about the reasons. If there is no firm response from the allies, both state and institutional, to aggressive provocations, Russia will continue,” he added.
“Empty” accusation
The Kremlin said Monday that the accusations of violation of the airspace of some European countries, lack foundation and are “empty.” “We believe that such words are empty, unfounded and a continuation of the completely furious line of climbing tensions that cause an atmosphere of confrontation,” said the spokesman for the Russian presidency, Dmitri Peskov, at his daily telephone press conference.
Peskov thus answered a question about a series of accusations about the incursion of drones or Russian airplanes in the European airspace, including Estonia’s complaint at the end of last week.
“It is not a novelty for the foreign policy of Estonia or other Baltic countries. We constantly observe it. But now, of course, to our regret, this is further aggravating tensions in the region,” said Peskov.
The Kremlin spokesman insisted that Russian forces “strictly” “international standards, also in regards to the flight regulations.
The Russian Ministry of Defense denied that its fighters violated Estonia’s airspace, as Tallin denounced it on Friday, which invoked the consultations with the allies.
Estonia accused Russia on Friday of the violation of her airspace by three Russian fighters, which, according to Tallin, remained for 12 minutes in the air on the island of Vaindlo, in the Gulf of Finland, which forced NATO air patrol planes to intervene.
At Estonia, today an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council will take place in New York in which the incident will be addressed.
In parallel, Poland reported that two Russian fighters on the Baltic Sea had also detected this Friday, where they made a low height flight in the vicinity of the Petrobaltic oil extraction platform and violated their security zone, according to the Polish border guard.
These incidents are added to another incursion of about twenty Russian drones in the airspace of Poland on September 10, and another of a drone in Romania, on September 14.
The air incursion last September 9-10 of Russian drones in Polish territory forced NATO to reinforce security on their eastern flank.
