A drone carrying a warhead was destroyed in Finland after it crashed
In southeastern Finland, a drone that crashed the day before was destroyed in a controlled explosion.
This was reported by Yle.
According to police, there may have been an unexploded warhead on board the drone, so the decision was made to detonate it.
The controlled explosion took place on Sunday evening, after which a detonation was heard in the area.
Fragments of the drone were scattered near the crash site, and law enforcement and border guards are surveying the area.
Some areas near Kouvola and Luumäki have been temporarily cordoned off.
Most of the evacuated residents have already been able to return to their homes.
Ukrainian drones were in no way directed toward Finland, the Foreign Ministry stated. Kyiv has already provided the Finnish side with all necessary information to clarify the circumstances of the UAV crash and apologized for the incident.
Finnish police reported the crash of another unidentified drone on Sunday, March 29. The incident occurred on sea ice near Mellsteninranta in the city of Espoo, in the Western Uusimaa region.
