Danish Defence Confirms Live Fire occurred as Widerøe Flight passed in September 2025
The Danish Defence admitted that soldiers on the Jylland range fired 43 live rounds while a Widerøe aircraft was transiting from Bergen to Billund on September 28, 2025, and that earlier statements had misrepresented the timing of the shots.1,2
Generalmajor Peter Boysen said the shots were aimed at suspected drones and not at the aircraft, but the army later acknowledged that some rounds were discharged at the same moment the plane passed overhead; the incident raises concerns about coordination between military training areas and civilian flight paths.1,2
