Two unidentified drones crashed near Kouvola in southern Finland on Sunday, the defense ministry reported. The incident is being investigated as a possible territorial violation. Defence Minister Antti Hakkanen stated that security authorities were sent to the scene. Finland shares a 1,340-kilometer border with Russia.

Hakkanen added that further details will be provided once the information has been verified. The ministry reported that "a few low-flying slow objects were observed in Finnish airspace in the sea area and in southeastern Finland on Sunday morning." The air force sent up an F/A-18 Hornet fighter on an identification mission.

The Finnish authorities are taking the incident very seriously, as stated by Defence Minister Antti Hakkanen. The areas where the drones fell were cordoned off by the police for further investigation. The ongoing investigation seeks to determine the nature of the drones and the possible violation of Finnish airspace.

The incident highlights the importance of border surveillance and security, especially given Finland's proximity to Russia. The authorities are gathering evidence and analyzing the drone wreckage to gather more information about the incident.

One drone fell to the ground north of Kouvola and another east of Kouvola, according to the defense ministry. The police cordoned off the areas for a more thorough investigation. The exact nature of the drones and their origin have not yet been confirmed, but the investigation is focused on determining if there was an intentional violation of Finnish airspace.

The investigation involves several government agencies and is expected to provide answers about the identity of the drones, their purpose, and any possible national security implications.
