Earlier, at around 20:20 local time, the airport of Denmark's capital (CPH) was closed to departures and arrivals, with incoming flights redirected to other fields.
The reason for the closure of the European airport was the identification of 3-4 large drones spotted in the area.
In response to the closure, Copenhagen Airport stated: "There are still unidentified drones in the airport area. Therefore, it's not possible to take off or land." They added: "Incoming flights are being redirected to other airports, and outgoing flights are delayed or canceled. Passengers are asked to update themselves on cph.dk or with the airlines. The Danish aviation authority continues to monitor the situation and coordinates with local security forces to identify the source of the drone entry and release the field as soon as possible."
As stated later, an update from Copenhagen Airport - 01:32 (Israel time): "Copenhagen Airport has reopened after being closed due to drone activity. However, there will be delays and cancellations of flights. Passengers are asked to check with their airline."
