"Denmark Implements Historic Military Draft for Women Amid Defense Boost"

Denmark is set to conscript women for military service, making it the third country in Europe to do so. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced an overhaul of the country's military, including extending the serving period for both men and women and investing in land-based air defense systems and an infantry brigade. The move is aimed at strengthening national defense and deterring potential threats, particularly in light of the international order being challenged. Denmark's increased defense spending is also in line with NATO's 2 percent target.
