During the morning Russian missile and drone attack, an unknown object flew from the territory of Ukraine into the airspace of Poland. It was probably a drone.
RMF24 writes about it.
The operational commander of the Polish army Maciej Klisz said at a briefing that at 06:43 a.m. Polish time, an unmanned aerial vehicle probably flew from the territory of Ukraine to Poland. He crossed the border near the Ukrainian city of Chervonograd.
The movement of the aerial object was recorded by at least three radar stations. The Polish side watched the object, but it disappeared after entering about 25 km into the territory of Poland. It disappeared from the radar systems, and Klish did not give the order to shoot it down due to bad weather conditions.
General Maciej Klisz says that the object is probably still in Poland, although he does not rule out that it could have left the country. The search operation is ongoing, it is concentrated in the Polish city of Tyszówce in the Lublin Voivodeship — it is not far from the border with Ukraine. There was no information about the explosions.
- On the morning of August 26, Russia launched a massive combined strike against Ukraine. Missiles and drones were shot down, in particular, in the western regions. Because of this, Poland raised fighter jets.
- This is not the first time that foreign missiles and drones have flown into Poland after massive Russian attacks. In December 2023, the Polish military announced that the airspace of their country was violated by a Russian missile. It happened at about seven in the morning. The rocket flew 40 kilometers deep into Poland and three minutes later returned to Ukraine.
