The three Baltic states – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – are experiencing spillover effects from a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack on Russia’s Baltic seaport of Primorsk on March 23.

A drone that entered Estonian airspace from Russia struck a chimney at the Auvere power station in Ida-Viru County early on March 25, Estonian authorities said.

The incident occurred at 3:43 a.m., according to Estonia’s Internal Security Service (ISS). No injuries were reported, and the country’s energy infrastructure remained unaffected.

Officials stressed that the drone was not deliberately aimed at Estonia or the power facility. The Prosecutor’s Office said preliminary findings suggest the aircraft was not intentionally directed towards the country.

“According to current information, the drone was not directed at Estonia. Initial actions are currently being taken – the investigation will clarify the more specific circumstances,” State Prosecutor General Astrid Asi said in a statement, ERR.ee reported.

The ISS has launched an investigation under the supervision of the Prosecutor’s Office. Bomb disposal specialists from the Rescue Board are also working at the scene.

In a separate development, Latvian authorities confirmed that another drone entered their airspace overnight, though no injuries or damage were reported there, the Latvian Ministry of Defence announced on its website mod.gov.lv on March 25.

According to Latvia’s Air Force, early warning systems detected a sound resembling an explosion in the Kraslava region, prompting an immediate response from security services.

Units from the National Armed Forces, State Police and State Border Guard were deployed to the scene, where drone wreckage was later discovered.

Officials said there is no indication of an ongoing threat to civilians or to Latvian airspace.

No injuries have been reported, and there is no damage to civilian infrastructure. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Local officials in Kraslava municipality have been informed.

As reported by bne IntelliNews, earlier this week, a stray Ukrainian drone found in southern Lithuania set alarm bells.

The sequence of incidents highlights growing risks linked to the spillover of military activity in the wider region, even when neighbouring countries are not the intended targets.
