The drone sightings coincide with high military and political tensions in the region and sound eerily similar to other drone incursions in the US.
Swedish law enforcement officials have confirmed that unidentified drones have been seen in the airspace over multiple nuclear power facilities early in the evening of Friday, January 14. An investigation has been launched by Swedenâs National Operations Department (NOA), but so far no suspects have been identified.
The Swedish Police Authority say the drones were seen over two separate nuclear facilities: one in the city of Forsmark and another over Oskarshamn. There are reports that a third nuclear facility at Ringhals had similar incursions, but Swedish police have yet to confirm that drones were in fact seen there. According to Reuters, the facility at Forsmark is the nationâs largest producer of energy.
