Mysterious Drones Above Baltic Port
Police were alerted to the presence of drones at the marina in Koege on Friday evening after an eyewitness reported spotting them. Officers managed to identify four of the drones before they swiftly disappeared over the sea. The origin, purpose, and the individuals responsible for launching the drones remain unclear. At the time, no permits had been issued for drone flights in the area.
Drone Sightings in the US, UK, and Germany
Unidentified drones have been a recurring presence over power stations and airports in Scandinavia in recent years, though authorities have yet to determine who is behind these flights. Recently, an increasing number of mysterious drones have been reported over New Jersey and other parts of the eastern United States, raising concerns about their origin and intentions.

In November, several unidentified drones were seen flying over three US Air Force bases in the United Kingdom, while German authorities reported sightings over sensitive military and industrial sites, including the US airbase at Ramstein.
Concerns About Potential Russian Sabotage
The drone sightings in Koege come on the heels of several incidents involving undersea cables in the Baltic Sea, a region where Koege’s port is located. Last week, the Estlink 2 undersea power cable connecting Finland and Estonia was damaged, leading Finnish authorities to suspect sabotage. They detained the Cook Islands-flagged oil tanker Eagle S, a vessel believed to be part of Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet,” which is involved in circumventing international sanctions, particularly those on oil sales.
In a separate incident in November, two fiber-optic cables in the Baltic Sea were cut. Swedish authorities boarded a Chinese ship as part of their investigation into possible sabotage.
In response, NATO has announced plans to increase its military presence in the Baltic Sea as a deterrent.
