The ministry said in a statement that it had "several capacities deployed" after drone sightings from Saturday into Sunday night. He also said that NATO leaders were in constant contact with Danish officials following the drone sightings. The prohibition does not apply to military drone flights, drones used by state aviation, including police and emergency drone operations, as well as municipal and regional emergency and health-related drone operations. Sweden had already announced earlier that it would "lend Denmark a military anti-drone capability" without giving further details. Drone sightings on Friday night took place at around 8:15 p.m. local time in Denmark and lasted for several hours, an officer on duty told AFP.
