EU commissioners are meeting today for a security college discussion on defence and security issues, where they will be joined by the secretary general of Nato, Mark Rutte. Their meeting comes amid growing concerns about drones appearing in European airspace, causing continuing disruption in parts of the Nordics. It remains unconfirmed who or what is behind them, but still prompted a strong reaction in the region.

Early on Thursday, Danish authorities reported that more than one drone had been spotted near Aalborg airport in the Jutland region of northern Denmark. The airport is used for both commercial and military flights, and its closure disrupted military operations, according to the police. The Danish police said the drone sightings in Aalborg followed a similar pattern to those that halted flights at Copenhagen airport for four hours on Monday, when several large, unidentified drones were spotted near the capital's airport.

Denmark's Aalborg airport was closed due to drones in its airspace, local police said early on Thursday, two days after the country's main Copenhagen airport was shut over drone sightings that rattled European aviation. Danish national police said the drones followed a similar pattern to the ones that had halted flights at Copenhagen airport for four hours a few days earlier.

The airports in Copenhagen and Oslo, the two busiest in the Nordic region, were shut for hours last night after drones were observed in their airspace late on Monday, leaving tens of thousands of passengers stranded as flights were diverted, delayed and cancelled.
