Warsaw announced on Friday, December 29, that an unidentified flying object from Ukraine entered its territory “in the morning.” An “incident” possibly related to “intense Russian bombing.”
Poland, a member of NATO, said on Friday, December 29, that an unidentified flying object from Ukraine had entered its airspace, an incident that may be related to the wave of Russian attacks against its neighbor.
“The object came from the border with Ukraine,” Colonel Jacek Goryszewski, spokesman for the Armed Forces Operations Command, told TVN24. “There was heavy shelling of Ukrainian territory last night, so this incident could well be related to that.”
He said the airspace violation occurred near the eastern border town of Zamosc.
The task force said in a statement that the “unidentified object” was tracked by radar “from the time it crossed the border until the signal disappeared.”
Research in progress
This happened “in the morning” and “all available forces and means were activated,” this text says.
According to Colonel Goryszewski, a search is underway at the location where the radio signal was lost.
In November 2022, a Ukrainian missile struck the Polish village of Przewodow near the border with Ukraine, killing two civilians.
The explosion at the site of a grain drying plant near a school, about six kilometers from the Ukrainian border, came as Russia carried out massive attacks on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure across Ukraine.
Before its origin was identified, the missile's impact on the Polish village had raised fears that NATO would be drawn into the conflict and the war in Ukraine would significantly escalate, with Poland protected by a collective defense commitment from the Atlantic Alliance.
