Polish authorities are investigating an overnight explosion that occurred around 2:22 a.m. Wednesday when a military-grade drone crashed into a cornfield near the village of Osiny in the eastern Lublin region, roughly 100 kilometres from the Ukrainian border. The blast shattered windows and damaged three nearby buildings, but no injuries were reported, according to regional governor Krzysztof Komorski. Prosecutor Grzegorz Trusiewicz said investigators recovered burned metal, plastic debris, propeller parts and an engine from a crater at the site. Preliminary findings, echoed by the Foreign Ministry, indicate the device was the Russian version of a Shahed-131/136 suicide drone widely used in the war in Ukraine. Helicopters and army units continue to survey the area for additional fragments while forensic teams analyse the wreckage. Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz stated that “all scenarios must be considered” and confirmed that services are examining a potential violation of Polish airspace. The Armed Forces Operational Command reported no radar detections from Ukraine or Belarus during the night, and the government has not yet attributed responsibility. If confirmed, the incident would mark the first suspected Russian kamikaze-style drone strike on Polish territory, heightening concern within the NATO member after similar cross-border intrusions were recorded in Romania and Lithuania.
