It is noted that the mission of the German military in Greenland has ended. Subsequently, a spokesman for the operational command told the dpa news agency that 15 German soldiers would leave the Arctic island on a civilian plane flying to the Danish capital Copenhagen.

The night before, it was reported that there were no plans regarding the length of the German military group's stay.
A spokesperson for the command stated that the team had already completed its mission and that the results of the reconnaissance would be "analyzed in the coming days."
"The results of the reconnaissance are such that everyone is satisfied, and they are currently being evaluated in Germany," the spokesman said.
According to him, the operation was not suspended.
"The reconnaissance was carried out in accordance with the task," said the spokesman for the operational command.
