Arlanda Airport in Sweden has been experiencing repeated drone sightings, causing significant disruptions.

Over the past few days, drones have been spotted near the airport, leading to temporary halts in air traffic.

The incidents are being investigated as potential airport sabotage.

Despite the availability of technology to deter drones, many major Swedish airports lack such equipment.

The Swedish police and Swedavia, the airport operator, are actively investigating these occurrences.

Experts suggest that these drone activities might be deliberate attempts to test the airport's security measures.
