Several unidentified drones violated Estonia's airspace on the night of 30-31 March; debris from one was found in Tartu County near the Russian border. Estonia attributed drone incursions to Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory, with some drones likely going off course.
On the night of 30-31 March, several unidentified drones entered Estonian airspace, triggering air-raid warnings in multiple regions. Debris from one drone was discovered in Kastre Parish, Tartu County, which borders Russia. Estonian Defence Forces' Colonel Uku Arold stated Ukraine was conducting drone attacks on Russian facilities near the Baltic Sea, and some drones likely strayed into Estonia. Drones were detected by radar and fighter jets, though none were shot down over Estonia. Related drone incidents recently occurred near Latvia and Finland's borders, with Ukraine apologizing to Finland for airspace violations. This event is part of a series of drone incursions linked to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Confidence: High
The incidents involve unauthorized drone incursions into Estonia's airspace linked to off-course Ukrainian military drone attacks against Russian targets, constituting hostile hybrid warfare activities.
