Drone hits chimney of Auvere power plant in Estonia

Military drones have crashed in southeastern Latvia and northeastern Estonia, authorities in the Baltic countries say. In Estonia, a drone hit the chimney of a power plant. No major damage has been reported.

The Estonian security service ISS reports that “a drone hit the chimney of the Auvere power plant.” Auvere is located outside Narva, near Estonia’s border with Russia.

Earlier on Wednesday morning, the Latvian Ministry of Defense announced that a drone from Russia had entered Latvia and crashed.

Baltic media reported at the time that the drones were Russian, but Latvian Prime Minister Evika Siliņa and the Latvian military stated later in the day that the drones were Ukrainian.

The crashes are not believed to have caused any injuries.

Corrected: An earlier version of the text contained incorrect information about the origin of the drones.
