An unmanned aerial vehicle is suspected of having violated Finnish airspace in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland early Wednesday morning. This is according to Finland’s Ministry of Defence.
The aircraft is said to have been in Finnish airspace for around five minutes before leaving the area.
The Finnish Defence Forces monitored the incident and shortly thereafter imposed temporary restrictions on air and maritime traffic in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland.
The Finnish Border Guard is investigating the incident. Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen says that every suspected territorial violation is taken extremely seriously.
