Drone jammed near French aircraft carrier was probably Russian, says Sweden

Sweden's defence minister says there is likely a "strong link" between the drone and a Russian naval vessel in the area.

Sweden's military intercepted a suspected Russian drone near the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle during its visit to Malmö as part of NATO exercises. The drone was spotted in the Öresund strait, and Swedish naval forces took countermeasures, losing contact with it afterward.

The Kremlin dismissed Sweden's claim that a drone jammed near a French aircraft carrier was of Russian origin, calling it 'absurd.' Swedish authorities had linked the incident to a Russian military vessel in the area.
