Poland is working to determine the nature of an object that fell overnight near Tarnawa-Kolonia, in the Lublin Voivodeship, after being detected by radar systems as it crossed national airspace. According to Polish media reports, the prevailing hypothesis is that it is a Russian missile.
The 10th Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces announced that the object was detected at 3:40 AM during a period of intense Russian aviation activity involved in attacks against Ukraine. An F-16 fighter jet was launched for identification, but radar contact was lost six minutes later before a definite identification could be made.
Subsequently, a Mi-24 helicopter was dispatched to the area of the last detection and identified the probable impact site in an undeveloped area near Tarnawa-Kolonia. Bomb disposal experts, search and rescue teams, and other competent authorities were deployed to secure the area and conduct investigations.
According to the Wirtualna Polska portal, citing government sources, "everything indicates" that the object is a Russian missile. However, authorities have not yet officially confirmed the nature of the object, while analysis operations continue.
