Suspicious Drone Over Hydroelectric Power Plant in Finland: EU Considers a Drone Wall.

According to inkorr.com: A suspicious drone was spotted in the Finnish city of Rovaniemi, located near the Valajaskoski hydroelectric power station. It is currently unknown who owns the drone. This was reported by Yle.

According to Yle, the incident occurred near the station owned by Kemijoki Oy. An eyewitness who spotted the drone contacted the police. Law enforcement confirmed the presence of the drone but refused to provide details, citing investigative actions.

Since August of this year, hydroelectric power stations in Finland have been recognized as areas with restrictions on drone usage — flights in these areas are prohibited. The head of the emergency services, Juha Kyytölähti, noted that all facilities are under constant video surveillance. However, it has not been possible to identify the drone operator.

Suspicious Drone Also Spotted in Sweden

During the night of Friday, September 26, residents of the Karlskrona archipelago in southern Sweden noticed a suspicious drone near the islands of Sturkö and Tjurkö. Witnesses saw two large aircraft with red and green lights circling the area near the base of the Swedish Navy.

Swedish Defense Minister Paul Jonsson stated that the country intends to use weapons against Russian aircraft in case of violations of its airspace.

EU Countries Considering a 'Drone Wall'

European Union countries have begun discussing the possibility of constructing a 'drone wall' with a detection system. This initiative was proposed by the EU Commissioner for Defense, Andrius Kubilius, in response to a series of 'provocations' and drone activity in various countries, including Denmark.

Recent events in Finland and Sweden have shown several cases near hydroelectric power stations and military facilities where suspicious drones were observed. This has raised concerns among authorities and prompted the search for new ways to protect airspace, including the initiative for a 'drone wall' in European Union countries.
