Copenhagen Airport was closed Monday night after drones were discovered nearby, an airport spokesperson told CNN.
Copenhagen Police said in a statement on X that “two to three large drones have been seen flying in the area,” and that it was unclear how long the disruption would last.
The airspace over the airport has been closed since 8:30 p.m. local time due to the “unidentified” drones, the airport spokesperson said. No flights have been allowed to take off or land.
At least 20 flights to and from the Danish capital were either canceled or delayed on Monday evening, according to flight information publis
