Drone sightings in the port city of Koege come amid rising Baltic Sea tensions. They also follow similar incidents elsewhere.
Some 20 drones have been reported flying over the port of Koege, southwest of Copenhagen, Danish police said Saturday.
They said the origins of the drones remained unclear and that they notified Denmark’s PET domestic intelligence service about the incident.
This incident comes amid heightened concerns in Nordic and Baltic States about potential Russian hybrid attacks following recent damage to several undersea cables.
Mysterious drones above Baltic port
Police were called to the marina in Koege on Friday night after an eyewitness reported seeing the drones.
Officers spotted four of the drones before the devices quickly vanished over the sea.
It remains unclear where they came from, why they were there, or who launched them.
At that time, no one had issued permits for drone flights in that area.
Drone sightings in the US, UK and Germany
Drones of unknown origin have often been seen flying over power stations and airports in Scandinavia in recent years. Authorities have not been able to identify who launched them.
In recent weeks, a large number of mysterious drones have been reported flying over the US state of New Jersey and across the eastern United States, sparking speculation and concern over where they came from and why.
