A drone carrying a warhead, which was likely heading toward Russia, was discovered in Estonia

In Estonia, near the border with Russia in the southeastern part of the country, a local resident found a drone in a field carrying a warhead weighing about five kilograms. The device is believed to be one of the Ukrainian drones that went off course while en route to targets in the St. Petersburg area during the attack on June 3. 

Law enforcement received a report about the dangerous find near the village of Riuge on June 10, but the incident has only now been made public. The main body of the drone was lying in tall grass, and some of its debris was stuck in a tree, into whose canopy the drone likely crashed during its descent. 

According to the agency’s head, Garjus Puusepp, the drone disappeared from radar near this location during an air raid alert, when the military unsuccessfully attempted to track its flight path.

ERR reported this, citing the Estonian Security Police Department.

Estonia has blamed Russia for the arrival of Ukrainian drones.

A Romanian fighter jet participating in a NATO air patrol mission shot down a stray attack drone over Estonian territory.
