Petteri Orpo has linked the aerial incursion to Kiev's latest UAV attacks on oil facilities in Russia's north-western Leningrad Region

Two suspected Ukrainian drones have crashed in Finland, Prime Minister Petteri Orpo has reported, conjecturing that the UAVs were launched as part of Kiev's latest attacks on neighboring Russia's Leningrad Region.

In a post on X on Sunday, Orpo wrote that the "drones have strayed into Finnish territory," and that the incident was being investigated by local authorities and the Defense Forces.

The Finnish prime minister characterized the "territorial violation as a very serious matter," as quoted by Yle News.

Meanwhile, the country's Air Force identified one of the UAVs as a Ukrainian AN196 drone.

There have been no reports of casualties on the ground as a result of the incident.
