Norway police seize drone flying by Oslo airport

Norwegian authorities seized a drone operated by a foreigner near Oslo"s airport, a prosecutor with Norway"s police said Thursday, Report informs via AFP.

The police arrested a man in his 50s for flying his drone in a restricted area, though it did not disrupt air traffic, said Lisa Mari Lokke, head of prosecutions at Norway"s eastern police district.

He was not arrested but will be questioned by police, she added while declining to specify the man"s nationality.

The arrest comes after drones flew around Oslo"s airport on Monday night, which caused the airport to close for several hours.

Neighboring country Denmark has experienced several drone incursions this week too. Though investigations have not concluded who was behind those incursions, the authorities have said that only a "capable actor" could have carried out the flyovers.

Tomorrow, countries on the EU and NATO eastern flank will discuss with Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius future drone defences. Denmark has also been invited to that meeting.
