Resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting rather than an official government or military record, leaving judgment calls to whoever evaluates the media coverage. The rules define qualifying clashes with explicit inclusions like missile strikes or gunfire and specific exclusions such as warning shots and fire into uninhabited areas. However, potential edge cases—particularly involving naval friction, such as distinguishing intentional ramming causing significant hull damage from minor scrapes and dents—require qualitative interpretation of event circumstances and damage severity.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve to "Yes" if there is a military encounter between the military forces of the United States and Denmark between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A "military encounter" is defined as any incident involving the use of force such as missile strikes, artillery fire, exchange of gunfire, or other forms of direct military engagement between US and Danish military forces. Non-violent actions, such as warning shots, artillery fire into uninhabited areas, or missile launches that land in territorial waters or pass through airspace, will not qualify for a "Yes" resolution. Intentional ship ramming that results in significant damage to (e.g., a hole in the hull) or the sinking of a military ship by another will count toward a "Yes" resolution, however minor damage (scrapes, dents) will not. Note: the United States Coast Guard is considered part of the United States military, and the Royal Danish Navy and other branches of the Danish Armed Forces are considered part of Denmark’s military. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
