COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -France, Germany and Sweden said on Monday they would send military personnel and anti-drone systems to Denmark to boost security at this week's European summits after drone incursions that forced the temporary closure of several Danish airports.

Copenhagen is due to host EU leaders on Wednesday, followed by a summit on Thursday of the wider, 47-member European Political Community. It has already said it has increased security around the events after the drone sightings.
