Pro-Palestine activists spray red paint on Danish defence firm

Pro‑Palestine demonstrators sprayed red paint on the façade of Danish defence contractor Terma A/S in Copenhagen on Tuesday, an act the activists said was intended to symbolize the bloodshed in the Gaza conflict. Police arrived at the scene shortly after the incident was reported, securing the area and beginning an investigation into possible criminal damage. The company, which supplies radar and missile‑defence systems to several NATO members, released a brief statement confirming that the paint had been removed and that no personnel were harmed.

The protest forms part of a broader wave of actions across Europe targeting arms manufacturers linked to Israel’s military operations. Authorities have warned that similar demonstrations could lead to charges of vandalism, while human‑rights groups have called for a dialogue on the ethical implications of defence exports. The investigation remains ongoing, and police have urged any witnesses to come forward with information.
