An attack drone carrying 5 kilograms of explosives was found in south Estonia and authorities said it could be linked to a Ukrainian strike on Russia in early June.

The device was found in a field in Rõuge municipality by a resident while mowing grass.

Harrys Puusepp, bureau chief at the Estonian Internal Security Service (ISS), confirmed the information about the find was received on the evening of June 10.

“The person discovered a drone in taller grass while mowing. Some parts of the drone were also found in a tree, so it had apparently fallen from there,” he said.

Puusepp said the drone may have been one of those reported during alerts on June 3.
