On site are the Internal Security Service, Police and Border Guard Board, and Rescue Board. They are collecting evidence on how the drone part reached the Estonian coast and how it ended up in the sea.
Currently, there is no definitive information on whether the drone was flying in Estonian airspace or crashed. "At the moment, there is no reason to believe that the drone flew into Estonia and interfered with flight safety. There is also no evidence that the drone contained explosives," said lead state prosecutor Taavi Pern.
The Internal Security Service is investigating the case, initiating criminal proceedings. They are collecting evidence regarding Russia's actions in Ukraine. If necessary, they will share information with partner countries.
The Internal Security Service advises that if anyone finds a suspicious drone, they should act as if they have found an explosive device: Do not approach it. Call 112. Move to a safe distance. Warn others. Do not share the location of the find on social media.
If anyone has information, photos, or video recordings related to the drone incident in Pärnu County, they are asked to inform the Internal Security Service.
At the end of August, a local farmer in Elva Parish, Tartu County, found fragments of an exploded drone. The discovered crater indicates that an explosion occurred there.
