Finland did not overreact to Friday's suspected drone incursion, minister says

Many other countries have SMS-based alert systems that do not require people to have a third-party app installed to receive essential alerts and information, as they are sent directly to the devices.

I was wondering about this when the thing happened on Friday. The first I came to know about it was a WhatsApp message in a group. Then after follow through got a message that the situation had cleared.

All the while, I kept thinking, I should have received a message on my phone - directly from the government - as a push notification or SMS. Weird that we don’t have it here in Finland.
