Drone sighting near Virolahti follows strike on Russian oil port

A suspected drone breach near Finland’s eastern border has triggered an official inquiry after a night of aerial activity across the Gulf of Finland, as Ukraine launched a strike on a Russian oil facility close to the same region. The Finnish Ministry of Defence said the Air Force detected an unmanned aircraft in the early hours of Sunday near Virolahti, close to the Russian border. The drone flew in the direction of Russia and has since left Finnish airspace. Authorities have not identified the model or origin of the aircraft.
