Sweden’s army jammed a drone of unknown origin on Wednesday not far from the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which was in Swedish waters, the two countries’ armed forces said Thursday.

“A drone was jammed yesterday by a Swedish system at about seven nautical miles from the Charles de Gaulle. The Swedish system worked perfectly and this did not disrupt operations on board,” French General Staff spokesman Colonel Guillaume Vernet told AFP.

The incident took place in the Oresund Strait, near the city of Malmo where the French flagship made a stopover on Wednesday, the Swedish army said.
