Swedish police: Drones spotted over nuclear power plant not belong to another country

STOCKHOLM, 30 January 2022, (TON): Swedish police have received about 200 signals of unidentified drone flights over protected sites, including several nuclear power plants (NPPs) and two airports.

Law enforcement officials say there is no evidence that a foreign power is behind any of these incidents, Dagens Nyheter reported.

Per Engström, head of the drone incident investigation depa-rtment, told media “of the approximately 200 incidents that we have investigated, we have not been able to see this drones belonging to a foreign country.”

Most of the cases did not have any continuation, since, as it turned out, they were either about authorized flights, or about some other objects mistaken for drones. Investigation of about 30 received signals is ongoing.

Those concerning the nuclear power plant have been handed over to the SEPO security police.

Deputy Chief Prosecutor Hans Irman, who is investigating at SEPO, told media “we deal with protected objects that are of particular importance for the infrastructure and, therefore, the security of the country. In some cases, power supply failures.”
