The Finnish Border Guard has published additional information about the investigation into the incident involving violation of the country's border by Russian aircraft.

It occurred on June 10 in the Loviisa maritime area.

Initially it was reported that the border was violated by one plane. However, Finnish border guards said today that there were reasons to suspect that three more aircraft had crossed the border.

The investigation is ongoing. Its results will be reported additionally.
