Mette Frederiksen remarked that the suspected drone attack attempt could have ended much worse. [^4]

The article reports that in April 2026 the European Commission proposed that EU member states offer subsidies to replace gas and oil furnaces with heat pumps and solar cells, aiming to protect consumers and businesses from sudden price increases and to limit socioeconomic consequences of the Iran war. [^5]

The Danish Energy Agency said it had granted 13,660 subsidy approvals for a total of 370 million Danish kroner out of nearly 16,000 applications received in 2026, compared with some 7,300 homeowners who received support in 2025. [^6]
