Summary

Estonian intelligence officials deployed a surveillance drone into international Baltic Sea waters, operating within airspace managed by Tallinn air traffic control. Departing from Saaremaa Island, the unmanned aircraft is maintaining an altitude slightly above 1.5 kilometers, remaining clear of established commercial flight corridors, such as those used by planes traveling over international waters in the direction of the Kaliningrad region. The drone remains above the sea and is expected to proceed eastward, with a projected path that includes the Gulf of Finland.
