The Alliance responds to incidents with drones in Denmark and Norway by strengthening security operations in the Baltic Sea.
The North Atlantic Alliance will “increase alertness” in the Baltic Sea after unauthorized drones have repeatedly entered the Danish airspace over the week. At a press conference at night on Sunday, the Alliance spokesman Martin O’Donnell said it, TASR writes, according to AFP report.
The measures “include several news, tracking and exploration platforms and the deployment of at least one anti -aircraft frigat in the west area of Russia,” O’Donnell said. According to him, the highest representatives of NATO are “in constant contact with Danish management” regarding incidents with drones.
Incidents with drones
