The Polish Foreign Ministry has confirmed that the drone that crashed in a field in the village of Osiny in the east of the country turned out to be a Russian Shahed.

As Ukrinform reports, this was reported by TVP World.

Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman Pawel Wronski said that the object that fell at night in a cornfield in the east of the country turned out to be the Russian version of the Shahed drone.

Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said that Poland will lodge a diplomatic protest against the perpetrator after the explosion of a drone 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 stressed.

Earlier, a source in the Polish Ministry of Defense told the state news agency PAP that the object that fell in a Polish village was a military drone, probably a decoy drone without a warhead.

The source added that the drone contained only a small amount of explosives and was intended to destroy air defense systems, distracting them from real combat drones.

As Ukrinform reported, an unknown object fell into a cornfield and exploded at night in the village of Osiny in the Lublin Voivodeship in eastern Poland, which borders Ukraine. The explosion shattered windows in several houses, but no one was injured in the incident. Police found charred metal and plastic debris at the scene.

The military gendarmerie is working at the scene, conducting a detailed analysis of the site. Air and ground search and rescue teams have been activated to inspect the area.
