Danish police were unable to confirm the type or number of drones observed around her airport Copenhagenas he said at a press conference.
“It is not known either where the drones came from, nor where they went after,” said Deputy Police Inspector Jakob Hansen.
Functions at Copenhagen Airport returned around 00:30 local time, after flights were suspended for almost four hours after the drone appearance. Oslo Airport also reopened after about four hours of airspace closure.

A spokesman for Copenhagen Airport confirmed that the airspace over the airport closed around 20:30 local time (18:30 GMT) on Monday, due to unrecognized drones.
