Denmark has established new rules of engagement for its military operations in Greenland, mandating a "shoot now, ask questions later" approach. Under these rules, soldiers are required to "immediately" counter-attack any invading forces without waiting for orders, according to a report by LBC.

This development comes amidst ongoing discussions about military presence and defense strategies in the region. The United States maintains a military presence in Greenland under a 1951 Defense Agreement, which has been a point of focus in recent developments regarding international security in the area.
