Details : Employees of the trade delegation spotted the drone and saw it drop a container with paint and an unidentified substance at around 05:30 local time, said Ola Osterling, spokesperson for Stockholm Regional Police.

They subsequently contacted the Stockholm regional police.

Investigators collected samples of the substance for analysis and opened an investigation into vandalism and harassment, Österling said.

Police officers did not see the drone themselves but questioned staff members who witnessed the incident. It remains unclear who was behind the attack.

Osterling added that the island of Lidingö is home to several foreign embassies and their branches, as well as residences such as the villa of the Russian trade delegation.
