Tallinn: A drone from Russian airspace hit a chimney of a power plant in Estonia, the internal security service said on Wednesday.

"A drone struck the chimney of the Auvere power plant. No one was injured in the incident," the service, known as ISS, said in a statement, adding that "the drone entered Estonian airspace from Russian airspace."

The Auvere power plant, operated by the Enefit Power group, is located in northeastern Estonia, near the town of Narva on the Russian border.

"These are the effects of Russia's large-scale war of aggression," said ISS Director General Margo Palloson, expressing concern about "the occurrence of such incidents in the future."
