Russia’s Embassy in Sweden said Thursday it was “attacked” by two drones overnight and blamed Swedish authorities for failing to ensure security at the diplomatic mission.
The embassy said one drone dropped a container filled with red paint onto its grounds at around 2 a.m. local time.
“A second drone, which had a fake improvised explosive device attached to it, crashed (most likely intentionally) onto our property in the immediate vicinity of the embassy building,” it said.
The Russian mission condemned what it called “more than just a simple provocation, but a blatant attempt to intimidate the staff of the Russian mission.”
“To that we’ll say quite frankly: it won’t work,” the Russian embassy wrote on Telegram.
