Poland’s Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has identified a Russian drone that crashed in eastern Poland as the cause of an explosion, calling it a deliberate provocation by Russia. The incident occurred on Wednesday morning near the village of Osiny, leaving burned metal and plastic debris at the scene. Despite initial reports suggesting the blast may have been caused by a faulty engine part, Kosiniak-Kamysz has accused Russia of escalating tensions during peace talks with Ukraine.
Polish authorities are investigating the crash site, and officials have confirmed no airspace violations from neighboring Ukraine or Belarus overnight. The incident marks the latest in a series of intrusions into Polish airspace since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine over three years ago.
