Polish authorities report the fall of a military drone in the east of the country
The Ministry of Defence has not yet been able to determine whether it crossed the border incorrectly or whether it was used for sabotage.
The drone crashed into a corn field in eastern Poland.
The Polish Ministry of Defence reported on Wednesday that a military drone crashed this morning into a corn fieldin the town of Osiny, near the town of Lublin, in the east of the country, 75 kilometres from the border with Ukraine. The authorities have not yet been able to determine whether it crossed the border incorrectly or whether it was used for sabotage.
Prosecutor Grzegorz Trusiewicz of the Lublin District Attorney's Office said at a press conference that it was a military drone carrying a small amount of explosivesand ruled out that it was a civilian device or used by smugglers.
The prosecutor said the drone could have collided with the power line, causing the explosion, which caused the rupture of glass in several nearby homes.
Trusiewicz does not rule out the entry of the drone from a neighbouring country, although the Polish Operational Command confirmed this morning that its radar systems did not violate airspace yesterday.
