In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday at 3:43, a drone crashed into the chimney of the power plant in Auvere.
A drone entered the airspace of Estonia from the direction of Russia.
Explosive ordnance disposal specialists from the Rescue Department are working at the scene. The investigation is led by the State Prosecutor's Office and conducted by the Security Police (KaPo).
“According to preliminary data, the drone was not directed at Estonia. Initial investigative actions are currently underway, and the investigation will clarify the exact circumstances,” said Attorney General Astrid Aasi.
According to Enefit Power's preliminary assessment, the power plant did not sustain direct damage, and the incident will not have a significant impact on Estonia's energy system.
At 9:30, the government will convene for an emergency meeting.
Last night, Ukraine attacked the port in Ust-Luga with drones. On the evening of March 24 and the night of March 25, reports were made of Ukrainian drone attacks in the Leningrad region.
“This is a consequence of Russia's full-scale aggressive war. It can be assumed that similar incidents will occur in the future,” stated the Director General of the Security Police, Margus Palloson.
Anyone who might have seen the drone is asked to share information with the Security Police at kapo@kapo.ee. They are also asked not to approach the scene and to keep a distance from any drone debris found, as it may contain explosive materials. Reports of debris should be made to 112.
The fallen drone was also reported in Latvia, in the village of Dobruchino.
