Estonia Residents Fear Ukrainian Drone Flights Near Narva
Residents of Estonia, especially in Narva, report fear over Ukrainian drones flying toward Russia, as concerns grow over safety and lack of response.
Residents of Estonia are growing increasingly alarmed by the regular flights of Ukrainian drones heading toward Russia, with tensions particularly high in the border city of Narva, according to the Telegram channel SHOT.
Locals have been активно sharing videos on social media showing unmanned aerial vehicles passing overhead, often accompanied by anxious commentary. Some residents say they are considering leaving the area altogether, while everyday noises — from fireworks to the hum of drones — are now triggering fear.
Frustration is also mounting toward the Estonian authorities. Part of the population is questioning why no effective measures appear to be in place to prevent drones from crossing the country’s airspace. Residents describe a constant sense of unease that is beginning to define daily life.
Earlier reports indicated that drones launched by Ukrainian forces have been flying over Baltic countries en route to targets inside Russia, including the Leningrad region.
Calls for clarity and stronger security measures are growing louder in Estonia’s border areas. However, there has been no official response from Tallinn so far, a silence that is only deepening public concern.
On the night of March 29, more than 200 Ukrainian drones were shot down over several Russian regions, with over 30 intercepted in the Leningrad region alone.
