Russian FM warns of 'decisive response' to any aggression

Russia's top diplomat on Saturday warned of a "decisive response" to any "aggression" after US President Donald Trump backed calls to shoot down Russian planes that violate Nato airspace.

"Russia is being accused of almost planning to attack the North Atlantic alliance and the European Union countries," Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told the UN General Assembly.

"Russia has never had and does not have any such intentions. However, any aggression against my country will be met with a decisive response," he said.

Meanwhile, the Danish defence ministry said that "drones have been observed at several of Danish defence facilities."

The new drone sightings overnight Friday into Saturday come after there were several drone sightings in the Nordic country earlier this week, with some of them temporarily shutting down Danish airports.

Several local media outlets reported that one or more drones were seen near or above the Karup Air Base, which is Denmark's biggest military base.

The defence ministry refused to confirm the sighting at Karup or elsewhere and said that "for reasons of operational security and the ongoing investigation, the Defence Command Denmark does not wish to elaborate further on drone sightings."
