Drone From Russia Strikes Chimney at Estonia’s Auvere Power Plant

Authorities treat the cross-border strike as a security case, not a direct attack on Estonia.

Overview

  • Estonia’s security service says a drone from Russian airspace hit the Auvere power plant chimney near Narva.
  • Officials and operator Enefit Power report no injuries and no significant effect on electricity supply.
  • The Prosecutor’s Office and the Internal Security Service are leading the inquiry with bomb disposal teams securing the scene and experts analyzing wreckage to identify the drone.
  • Prosecutor General Astrid Asi says current information indicates the drone was not directed at Estonia.
  • The incident coincides with Ukrainian strikes on Russian Baltic ports and separate drone incursions in Lithuania and Latvia, which has sharpened focus on drone defenses along NATO’s eastern border.
