The Prosecutor's Office has concluded the investigation into the drone incident at the Auvere power plant. They were unable to determine where the drone came from or why the incident occurred.
Chief Prosecutor Gardi Anderson said: "The drone was severely damaged in the explosion. We were unable to determine its origin."
Anderson added that the Prosecutor's Office conducted all possible investigative actions. However, the collected data did not allow for establishing liability. If new information emerges, the investigation can be resumed.
According to the Security Police, this was not an action directed against Estonia. Andres Ratassepp, head of the Security Police, stated: "Russia's war against Ukraine means that similar incidents may still occur. Drones are weapons of war and must be handled with caution."
The drone hit the chimney of the Auvere power plant on the night of March 25. The explosion damaged the chimney, but no people were injured and the power supply remained operational.
Investigators checked whether the drone could have come from Ukraine. They spoke with Ukrainian experts and conducted investigations. However, they were unable to determine the drone's origin.
