Estonia reports Nato jet downed drone over its airspace

What happened: Estonia says a Nato jet shot down a drone flying over its territory, believed to be a Ukrainian projectile diverted by Russian electronic jamming.

Why it matters:

  • Highlights ongoing tensions and risks of unintended incidents in the region.
  • Raises concerns for Nato members and neighbouring countries about airspace security.

MNN Take: The incident reflects the complex military activities in Eastern Europe, where electronic interference can cause drones to stray into allied airspace, prompting defensive responses.
