“What we saw last night was the most serious attack on Danish critical infrastructure so far,” Prime Minister Mette Fredericksen said in a statement, adding attacks that are in line with recent trends: “other drone attacks, airspace violations, hacking attacks on European airports.”
Danish police previously didn’t know who was behind the drone, but said that according to the world of TRT it suggested it was a “competent actor.”
Anyone responsible for flying a big drone at Copenhagen Airport appeared to be knowledgeable as flights resumed in the Denmark and Norwegian capitals on a chaotic night of travel.
Copenhagen and Oslo airports reopened Tuesday after unidentified drones in the airspace diverted or cancelled dozens of flights, causing disruption to thousands of passengers.
The massive trip delays were expected to continue throughout Tuesday.
“Numbers, sizes, flight patterns, times on the airport. All together… shows that it’s a capable actor,” Copenhagen Police inspector Jens Jespersen told reporters.
He said “several big drones” flew around Copenhagen airport for more than three hours on Monday.
