Finnish officials warned that drone activity is likely to continue in the Nordic country’s vicinity after two aerial vehicles entered its airspace before crashing on Sunday morning.

“These are individual Ukrainian drones that have strayed into our territory,” Air Force Commander Timo Herranen said at a news conference. Prime Minister Petteri Orpo had earlier signaled the same in an interview with the public broadcaster YLE.
