There was an event with a drone in Estonia. A drone flew into a power plant. The power plant is in the place Auvere. This is in the East of Estonia. There was a loud noise when it crashed. But there was no big damage. The power plant works normally now.

There were also events in the next country Latvia. Two drones crashed there. The governments looked at the drones. They now say: The drones come from Ukraine. They were probably accidents. The drones lost their target. They went off course.

Estonia and Latvia are partners of Ukraine. They help Ukraine in the war against Russia. The governments say: Such mistakes can happen in war. Russia often disturbs the signals for steering. People call this GPS jamming. Then drones fly to the wrong places.
