HELSINKI: Finnish police said on Saturday that a drone and an unexploded warhead had been discovered in the south of the country.

The drone appeared similar to the ones that fell inside the country in late March, which Kyiv said were knocked off course by Russian interference.

A crashed “unmanned aircraft” had been found in a forest in Iitti in southern Finland, police told AFP.

“According to current information, the drone found in the forest is similar to those previously found in southeastern Finland,” police said in a statement.
