First, news about military drones.

It has fallen onto the ice of a lake in Parikkala in southeastern Finland.

Two military drones crashed in Finland on Sunday. They were quickly found.

A third military drone has been found in Finland.

It is also believed to be a Ukrainian military drone.

The third drone was spotted on Tuesday. It was spotted by the Border Guard.

Authorities safely detonated the plane today, Wednesday.

Now the news about drone warnings.

Prime Minister Petteri Orpo says that people need to be informed about the threat posed by drones.

Orpo spoke about the matter in an interview with Yle.

He said that no warnings were issued about the drones on Sunday because the risk was low. The risk was being assessed by authorities.

The Finns saw Hornet fighters in the sky, but they didn’t know why.

Orpo says that communication needs to be improved.

“People are worried. If the Hornets are in the air and something happens, I think more information is better than less information.”

Orpo says that the authorities’ actions on Sunday will be reviewed.

Finally, news about pensioners.

There are already almost 80 municipalities in Finland where half of the residents are pensioners.

60 percent of people in Ilomantsi are pensioners, the highest percentage in Finland.

Residents say that the situation is visible in the municipality. Young people are moving away.

The proportion of pensioners is also high in Hyrynsalmi and Rääkkylä.

There are already almost 80 municipalities in Finland where half of the residents are pensioners.

Kaarlo Reipas, a mathematician at the Finnish Centre for Pensions, says that approximately 30 percent of Finnish adults are pensioners.

However, the proportion of pensioners is growing more slowly than before.

The reason is the increase in the retirement age and changes in pension accrual.

The average pension last year was just under 2,200 euros.

Still a weather forecast.

It will rain occasionally in the west on Thursday.

The weather is cloudy.

However, the sun is shining in Lapland.

The wind is strong there.

The temperature is mostly between +1 and +7 degrees.
