Ukrainian Drones Crash in Finland, Military on High Alert

0:00Finnish officials are warning that drone incursions could keep happening near the country after two Ukrainian drones straight into its airspace and crashed early Sunday morning. This marks the first known case since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine four years ago. Ukraine's been hitting Russian oil ports along the Baltic Sea for over a week and strong Russian electronic jamming likely pushed these drones off. Of course, drones from those same attacks have also crashed in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania with one even clipping a power plant chimney in Estonia. The crashes landed in remote spots north and east of Kovala, causing no injuries or real damage. Last week in alone, Finnish forces spotted over a hundred drones nearby, some just eight kilometers from the border, so the military is staying on high. Alert. One drone got tailed by an FAA-18 Hornet fighter and ID as a Ukrainian AN-196 model, the other still unidentified. Investigators are probing both for explosives while a third drone found earlier turned out to be harmless civilian gear.

1:04Officials, including the president, stress there's no threat to Finland, but they're geared up to watch the skies and respond if more wander in. That wraps Toronto news today, brought to you with AI. I'm Kori with the story.
