Finland’s Defence Forces have restricted airspace over the eastern Gulf of Finland as a precautionary measure against possible drones drifting into Finnish territory. According to Yle News, the restriction is temporary and intended to reduce risks in the border-area airspace.

The decision applies to the maritime area in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland, but no further details have been given about how long it will remain in force. The Defence Forces have not yet said what prompted the move or how the situation will be monitored next.
