COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Denmark reported to NATO allies that unspecified "state actors" were responsible for drone incursions that shut two airports, Latvia's foreign minister told Reuters on Thursday, but Danish officials said it was still unclear who was behind the incidents.

The incursions forced Aalborg airport, used for commercial and military flights, to shut for three hours, while Billund airport, Denmark's second-largest, was closed for an hour, police said. Both reopened on Thursday morning.
