Details: The spokesperson noted that since the start of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, wreckage from Russian attack drones and missiles has been repeatedly found on the territory of NATO member countries.
She stated that such actions are “irresponsible and potentially dangerous”.
Background:
- After Russia’s large-scale attack on Ukraine on the morning of 26 August, Poland reported a violation of its airspace by an “aerial object”, which was likely a kamikaze drone.
- Maciej Klisz, Commander of the Polish Armed Forces’ Operational Command, stated that the object that flew in from Ukraine was not shot down because of weather conditions.
- Polish media, citing sources in the military, reported that they were inclined to believe that the drone was a Shahed and had remained in the country’s airspace for at least 33 minutes.
