The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland has confirmed that the drone which crashed in a field in the village of Osyny in the eastern part of the country was identified as a Russian «Shahed».
This was reported by TVP World.
Spokesperson for the Polish MFA, Paweł Wroński, stated that the object which fell at night in a cornfield in the eastern part of the country was indeed a Russian version of the «Shahed» drone.
Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski announced that Poland would lodge a diplomatic protest «against the offender» following the drone explosion near the eastern border.
«Another violation of our airspace from the east confirms that Poland’s most important mission in NATO is to protect its own territory», he emphasized.
Earlier, a source from the Polish Ministry of Defence informed the state news agency PAP that the object which fell in the Polish village was a military drone, likely a decoy drone without a warhead.
The source added that the drone contained only a small amount of explosives and was intended to target air defense systems, distracting them from real combat drones.
