Other drones were seen above some military objectives in Denmark during Saturday night, for the next consecutive day, the Danish army, quoted by AFP, announced.
“The armed forces confirm that drones were observed on several military units during the night. Several means were dislocated,” the army announced in a statement, without giving any other details about the drones or the response of the army.
No airport in Denmark was closed during the night.
It is for the second consecutive night when Drone is seen around the Danish military installations. The police said he noticed drones near the Karup air base in western Denmark, according to the Ritzau News Agency.
The Norwegian police said on Saturday that they are investigating possible drones near the Oerland air base in the center of Norway, the main base of Norway's F-35 hunting aircraft.
“The base guards made several observations outside the perimeter of the base on Saturday morning,” a spokesman for the common command of the Norwegian armed forces told Reuters.

Denmark will prohibit next week any flight of civilian drones on its territory for the security of the European summit in Copenhagen to which the leaders of the EU countries will participate.
“From Monday to Friday, we close the Danish airspace for all the flights of civilian drones. In this way, we eliminate the risk that enemy drones will be confused with legally or vice versa drones,” said Transport Minister Thomas Danielsen.
Copenhagen Airport, the busiest in the northern region, was closed for several hours on Monday evening, after several large drones were observed in its airspace. Five smaller airports, both civil and military, were also temporarily closed in the coming days.
The Danish authorities have qualified these incursions as hybrid attacks, and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said earlier this week that this is “the worst attack on Danish critical infrastructure so far.”
