The Danish PM, Mette Frederiksen, tonight warned: “We must expect more attacks.
“We must expect that there may be more drone attacks on critical infrastructure.”
The threat to national security, he added, is “far from over”.
Aalborg airport was closed for about an hour after cops suspected a drone flying overhead – just a day after closing “indefinitely”.
An airport spokesperson said: “We do not know how many drones there are, and I encourage you to direct specific questions to the North Jutland Police.
“At the moment we have no overview of how many departures are affected, and we also have no time horizon.”
The airspace was initially closed on Wednesday night before being reopened on Thursday evening.
Russia’s involvement has not been ruled out, though cops are yet to confirm who is behind the drones.
On Wednesday, at least three flights were diverted — two back to Copenhagen and one from Amsterdam rerouted to Billund — after the sudden lockdown.
It is not yet known how many drones there are or where they came from.
Aalborg sits in northern Denmark’s Jutland region and ranks as the country’s fourth-biggest city by population.
It comes just days after Copenhagen Airport, the busiest hub in the Nordic region, was shut down for four hours when two or three unidentified drones swooped dangerously close to the runways.
