Denmark said on Sept. 25 it is considering whether to invoke Article 4 of the NATO treaty following drone incursions into its airspace, which briefly forced two airport shutdowns and affected military bases.
The airports reopened on the morning of Sept. 25 after being closed when unidentified drones flew into their airspace overnight.
