Estonia Says Drone Enters From Russia, Hits Power Station, ERR Reports

STOCKHOLM, March 25 (Reuters) – ⁠A ⁠drone flew ⁠into Estonian airspace from Russia ​early on Wednesday morning and ‌slammed into a ‌chimney at a ⁠local ⁠power station, the Baltic country’s Internal Security ​Service told public broadcaster ERR.

There were no reports of injuries ​or damage to the power ⁠station, Estonian ⁠authorities said.

Two ⁠drones also ​crossed into Latvia’s airspace, one from ​Russia ⁠and the second from Belarus, Latvian authorities said.

It was not immediately clear where ⁠the drones originated from.

The incidents occurred at ⁠about the same time that a Ukrainian drone attack set fire to oil facilities at Russia’s Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga, a major petroleum export hub ⁠about 25 km (15 miles) from the border with Estonia.
