Several drones violated Finnish airspace near the south-eastern border with Russia, with at least two crashing near Kouvola. Finnish authorities opened an investigation and scrambled F/A-18 Hornets to identify the objects. The next day a Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesperson confirmed the drones were Ukrainian and apologised to Finland. Prime minister Petteri Orpo linked them to Ukrainian operations against nearby Russian targets and noted they may have strayed because of Russian electronic countermeasures.
