A surveying drone was discovered on the Porvoo coast in southern Finland on Tuesday, according to defense ministry officials. The device was reportedly spotted by a member of the public on an island in the Pellinge archipelago. According to two unnamed sources, the initial investigation indicates the drone may have originated in Russia.

The Border Guard noted that there were no explosives on the device and that it was approximately a few meters in size. Fisherman Peter Kellgren told Yle news agency he observed the drone drifting ashore from the open sea on Tuesday afternoon. The ministry announced on Wednesday that the incident is being treated as a possible territorial violation, with the investigation being handled by the Border Guard and police.

Authorities are examining the drone's origin, flight path, and the circumstances leading to its appearance on Finnish territory. Education Minister Anders Adlercreutz stated that the situation is being taken seriously, while also acknowledging Russia's activity in the region.
