"Drones have strayed into Finland's territory. We take this very seriously, said Defense Minister Antti Hakkanen in a statement. The investigation is ongoing and further details will be provided once the information has been verified."
"Prime Minister Petteri Orpo noted that it was likely these were stray Ukrainian drones, suggesting that Russian jamming of drone signals may have caused the Ukrainian drones to veer off course."
"The incident in Finland follows similar drone crashes in nearby Baltic countries, where several Ukrainian drones had crashed on their territory after going astray during attacks on Russian oil export facilities."
Finland's Defense Ministry reported a suspected territorial violation involving unmanned aerial vehicles in southern Finland. Two drones were observed in Finnish airspace, leading to the dispatch of an F/A-18 Hornet for identification. One drone crashed north of Kouvola and another east of the city, prompting police investigations. Defense Minister Antti Hakkanen emphasized the seriousness of the situation, while Prime Minister Petteri Orpo suggested the drones might be stray Ukrainian drones, possibly affected by Russian jamming. This incident follows similar drone crashes in Baltic countries amid increased Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia.
