The Finnish Ministry of Defence reports on Friday that a Russian vessel is suspected of trespassing in Finnish territorial waters in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland, writes Yle.

The trespassing is said to have occurred on Friday afternoon and the case is now being investigated by the Finnish Border Guard.

In mid-June, four Russian military planes violated Finnish airspace 2.5 kilometers inside Finland's border in the Gulf of Finland.
