Details: The police were called to the scene, and the officers themselves could see the suspicious drones.

“It is a larger type [of drone], similar to the one that was over Denmark and Skåne [southern Sweden – ed.],” said Mattias Lundgren, an investigation leader at the Karlskrona police.

On Thursday evening, several residents of two local settlements reported a suspicious drone.

“It is currently unclear what the object is, but we have filed a report of a violation of aviation law,” commented Mattias Lundgren.

According to the police coordination centre, several witnesses saw two drones with red and green lights. Neither object was recovered, and there are no suspects in the case. However, the police see a clear connection with recent events in Denmark and Norway.

The area where the drones were spotted is located a few kilometres from the naval base in Karlskrona. The Swedish Navy has no information about this incident.

Background:

The Danish authorities temporarily closed the two largest airports after drones were spotted in the sky. In Copenhagen, this was called a “hybrid attack”. Similar incidents were also reported at other airports in the country.On Monday, the airports in Copenhagen and Oslo also had to be closed due to drone intrusions, causing flights to be cancelled and leaving thousands of passengers stranded in terminals.
