Sweden says its armed forces spotted and jammed a drone near the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle during a stopover in Malmo on Wednesday, with the country’s defence minister saying the drone was “probably” of Russian origin.
The Kremlin on Friday dismissed claims that an intercepted drone in Swedish waters was Russian, calling the suggestion “absurd” even as Stockholm pointed to a “strong link” to Moscow. Sweden's military observed the suspected drone on Wednesday near where a French nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was docked in the port of Malmo, officials said.
