The Interior Ministry's rescue authorities have provided the public with updated instructions on how to act in the event of a drone threat warning.
The instructions are available in English on the pelastustoimi.fi website.
The instructions include a section on preparing in advance for drone threats, such as planning with family and friends about what to do in emergency situations.
"Make sure the 112 Suomi app is installed on your phone and on the phones of your family and friends, and that it has permission to use all features. Open the app regularly and ensure that the latest version is installed," the authority advises.
Danger in the air
The updated instructions come as concerns about drone activity over Finland have increased significantly in recent weeks.
Last Friday morning, a drone alert affecting the Uusimaa region led to people being advised to move indoors and stay there. Some 1.8 million people live in this area, making it Finland's most populous.
Air traffic at Helsinki Airport was also temporarily suspended for a few hours as a result of the warning.
Separately, drones — including ones carrying unexploded warheads — have strayed into Finnish airspace on a number of occasions during the spring.
At a press conference in March, Prime Minister Petteri Orpo (NCP) commented that the incidents show that the war in Ukraine "is coming closer to us".
News agency Reuters reported on Tuesday that a Nato military jet shot down a drone of apparent Ukrainian origin in Estonia, citing comments by the Baltic country's Defence Minister, Hanno Pevkur.
