The rumble in the sky and the silence of the threat: drones flew into Estonia

On the night of May 3, residents of Narva and the border areas of Ida-Virumaa reported disturbing sounds in the sky, similar to the work of drones, Narva News reports. The publication claims that there were about 60 drones in the sky over Estonia.

In local Telegram chats, people wrote about the low hum near the Narva reservoir, in the Orekhovaya Gorka area and in other parts of the city. People claimed that the sounds came not only from the border, but also from the depths of Narva.

Against this background, the Estonian Defense Forces confirmed that one drone had indeed briefly entered the country's airspace near Lake Peipsi, after which it left it and returned towards Russia. At the same time, there is no official confirmation of the flight of drones over Narva at the moment, ERR reports.

The main question for many residents turned out to be not only what they heard at night, but also why the SMS alert about the threat, according to some of the townspeople, did not come to everyone.
