Andrey Makarov was found guilty of treason for arson attack involving a car with Ukrainian license plates in Estonia, linked to the Russian Federation. The Tartu County Court sentenced Makarov to 11 years in prison. The attack was interpreted as part of Russia's hybrid warfare against Estonia and other NATO states. Prosecutors alleged the car was used to carry out a deliberate attack and the case falls under hybrid warfare tactics. In a related incident, a drone crossed into Estonian airspace near Põlva, flying approximately 35 km from the border before returning to Russian territory. The drone incident sparked local security investigations and the Estonian Defence Forces are examining recordings and signals to identify the UAV origin. Authorities warned the public about the ongoing surveillance and the potential threat posed by such incursions.
