Two incursions of Polish airspace by drones occurred overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday, but they were not shot down as they posed no danger, the army said on Thursday.
Axar.az informs, citing Reuters, Poland has been on high alert for objects entering its airspace since a stray Ukrainian missile struck a southern Polish village in 2022, killing two people, a few months into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“We had two airspace violations,” General Maciej Klisz, Operational Commander of the Armed Forces, told a news conference. “These two violations were under the full control of national forces and units assigned to the state defense system.”
General Wieslaw Kukula, Chief of the General Staff, said that drones left Polish airspace without causing any damage.
The Polish army gave no details about where the drones entered Polish airspace.
