In connection with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, an unidentified “flying object” entered Poland and was spotted by Polish radar.. This was announced by General Maciej Klisz, commander of the Polish army, in Warsaw. The PAP news agency then quoted Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk as saying there was no immediate danger to the Polish population.

At least three radar stations detected an unmanned object, Klisz said at a press conference. It was “completely under control” and could have been shot down if necessary. The object crossed the Polish border near the Ukrainian town of Chervonohrad at 6:43 am. Chervonohrad is a frequent target of Russian air raids because of a power plant located there.

Around 70 soldiers are on the lookout for a possible plane crash in the eastern Polish region of Tyszowce in the afternoon. The area is about 20 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. The sound’s trajectory, height and speed suggested it was a Russian Shaheed combat drone of Iranian design, a senior official told PAP agency. It is less likely that it was a rocket.

Already in the morning, the PAP has reported that the Polish military has sent specialists due to the imminent Russian airstrikes on the Polish border. According to information, aircraft from other allies are also involved in the operation. Russian missiles have repeatedly hit Polish airspace during attacks on Ukraine. In 2022, two people died when a rocket hit eastern Poland. The reason in this case is a faulty Ukrainian air defense weapon.
