Estonia said NATO Baltic Air Policing fighter jets shot down a drone over southern Estonia on Tuesday, marking the first time the country has downed an unmanned aerial vehicle in its airspace. Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said the drone entered Estonian airspace before being destroyed over Lake Võrtsjärv in southern Estonia.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. “For the first time, we shot down a drone ourselves,” Pevkur told Estonian outlet Delfi. According to Pevkur, the drone was likely of Ukrainian origin and appeared to be heading toward targets inside Russia. Estonian authorities said the Air Force and security police are investigating the incident. Earlier on Tuesday, Estonia’s Defense Forces issued an EE-ALARM (Estonia’s national public warning system) about a possible air threat across several southern regions, including Tartu, Jõgeva, Viljandi, Valga, Võru and Põlva counties. Residents were advised to remain alert and call emergency services if they spotted a drone. The warning was lifted less than an hour later. Flight-tracking data also showed that Swedish Air Force aircraft entered Estonian airspace during the incident. The drone alert came as Russia reported a wave of drone attacks targeting its northwestern regions. Drones attacked a major oil refinery in Russia’s Yaroslavl region early Tuesday, with officials confirming a hit on an industrial site and no casualties.
