An unidentified drone crossed Estonia's southeastern border, with Air Force Commander stating it flew as far as Põlva. The drone was detected flying at low altitude and low speed, and Estonian Air Force and Defense Forces monitored and tracked the object. It entered Estonia near the Võru region and was later seen near Põlva county. Local residents reported sightings of the drone around 3:45 am, describing multiple passes. The incident raised concerns about airspace violations amid regional tensions. Authorities continue to assess the event and monitor for further activity.

The unauthorized border crossing of a drone from outside into Estonia's airspace with monitoring by military forces indicates a hostile or aggressive hybrid warfare signal consistent with airspace violation tactics.
