/ date of the event
What happened
During a Ukrainian drone attack on Saint Petersburg and Ust-Luga, a drone violated Latvian airspace and crashed in Tartu County, Estonia. Early findings from an Estonian investigation identified it as a Ukrainian drone that had veered off course due to Russian radio jamming.
The word "Russian" in this description comes from the source's account of where the object was made or what type it is. It is not a finding about who sent it or on whose orders. This record carries no assessment of responsibility: see the attribution band below.
