A Danish airport has closed due to drones in its airspace - just days after Copenhagen and Oslo airports were struck by the same problem.
Multiple flights have been impacted at Aalborg Airport, a spokesman said, including two SAS planes, one Norwegian Airlines plane and one KLM flight.
Police went onto confirm that drones were seen near the airport - and its airspace has been closed.
"Police are present and investigating further," a statement added.
The force are currently unsure whether the drones spotting in the airport's airspace are the same ones that caused Copenhagen Airport to close

The force added that they are unsure whether the drones spotting in the airport's airspace are the same ones that caused Copenhagen Airport to close earlier this week.
The Danish government later linked the flying objects to a host of recent incursions by Russian drones seen across Europe.
They added that Monday's incident was the most serious attack on the country's infrastructure to date.
Airspace above Oslo Airport was closed for three hours after drones were sighted on the same evening.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen later said she "cannot deny" that the aircrafts were of Russian origin.
Although investigators have not officially identified the perpetrators behind the incursions, experts have suggested it may be part of a test to see how European countries manage critical infrastructure.
European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats network director Jukka Savolainen said: "First is to test how the method works. In this case, it leads to closing down airports.
"The second testing point is our reaction."
Danish national police have said the drones seen breaching Aalborg Airport's airspace follow a similar pattern to those sighted in Copenhagen and appear to have their lights switched on.
The force added that Danish Armed Forces have also been impacted due to Aalborg being used as a military base.
The authorities also confirmed they have received reports of further drone sightings around the country.
