Several drones entered Estonian airspace overnight. They were likely Ukrainian drones targeting sites in Russia’s Leningrad Region.
“Ukraine is striking Russia’s military infrastructure and infrastructure supporting the war effort, while Russia is trying to repel these attacks, including by using various means to knock Ukrainian drones off course. Most likely, this is exactly what we were dealing with overnight.
Several drones also entered Estonian territory today. They were detected both by radar stations and fighter jets”, Estonian Defence Forces strategic communications chief Colonel Uku Arold told ERR.
The drones were not shot down, and there is no information about them crashing on Estonian territory.
Ukrainian forces have been attacking ports in the Leningrad Region for a week. This morning, Leningrad Region Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko said that 38 drones had been neutralised over the region.
According to him, there was damage in the port of Ust-Luga. In the village of Molodtsovo in the Kirov district, falling drone debris damaged windows in three residential buildings, affecting up to 30 apartments, as well as two classrooms in a secondary school and a social protection centre building that is undergoing major repairs.
