Two drones entered Finland's airspace and crashed on Sunday, according to the country’s defense ministry, which said it is investigating the incidents.

"Drones have strayed into Finnish territory. We are taking the matter very seriously. Security authorities have reacted immediately,” said Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen in a note posted on the ministry’s website.

Several small slow-flying objects were observed at low altitude in Finnish airspace on Sunday morning, one over the sea and the other in the southeast of the country, the statement added.
