Denmark Bans Civilian Drone Flights Ahead of Major E.U. Summit

In a move aimed at bolstering security, Denmark has imposed a temporary ban on civilian drone flights in the country, just days before a major European Union (E.U.) summit. The decision comes on the heels of a series of recent drone sightings near airports in Denmark and Norway, which have heightened security concerns across the continent.The ban, which was announced by Danish authorities, prohibits the flying of recreational drones within a 5-kilometer radius of airports and other sensitive areas. The restriction is set to remain in place until the E.U. summit, which is scheduled to take place in Brussels later this month.The recent drone sightings in Denmark and Norway have raised alarm bells about the potential risks posed by unregulated drone activity. In both countries, drones were spotted flying close to airports, prompting authorities to take swift action to prevent any potential disruptions to air traffic.The incidents have also sparked concerns about the potential for drones to be used for malicious purposes, such as smuggling or surveillance. As a result, European authorities are taking a closer look at existing regulations and exploring new measures to mitigate the risks associated with drone usage.The ban on civilian drone flights in Denmark is seen as a precautionary measure to ensure public safety and prevent any potential security breaches during the E.U. summit. The move is also likely to prompt other European countries to review their own drone regulations and take steps to enhance security in the region.The E.U. summit, which will bring together leaders from across the continent, is expected to focus on a range of pressing issues, including economic growth, migration, and security. With the drone ban in place, Danish authorities are confident that they can provide a safe and secure environment for the event.
