Polish airspace was violated by two drones, but they were not shot down due to lack of threat. The incident occurred on the night of September 3, Reuters reports.
"We had two airspace violations," said General Maciej Klisz, Operational Commander of the Polish Armed Forces.
According to him, these two violations were under full control of the national forces and units assigned to the state defense system.
At the same time, General and Chief of the General Staff of Poland Wiesław Kukuła said that the drones left Polish airspace without causing any damage.
The Polish army did not provide details about where exactly the drones violated the country's airspace.
Poland is in a state of heightened readiness regarding objects entering its airspace.
Attention to such objects had to be increased after the incident in 2022, when an unidentified missile fell on the Polish village of Przewodów, killing two people.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland stated that the Russian drone, which fell on August 20 in a field in Lublin Voivodeship, could have flown in from Ukraine. The prosecutor who investigated the incident then said that the drone might have been launched from Belarus.
As is known, on August 20 a drone fell onto a cornfield in the village of Osiny in Poland. The drone exploded after the fall, with no casualties reported.
Law enforcement is investigating this incident in detail, relying on the drone fragments and other evidence.
Poland leaned toward the version that it was a Russian Shahed drone that exploded at that time.
In connection with this, a few days after the incident, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland sent a note of protest to Russia.
