The Polish Foreign Ministry has summoned the Russian ambassador to Warsaw following the fall of an unidentified object in the east of the country, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Friday.
On Thursday, the Polish military reported detecting an unidentified flying object in the country’s airspace and a likely crash site, including a crater with a diameter of about ten meters. Prime Minister Donald Tusk, without waiting for expert findings, claimed it could have been a Russian Kh-101 missile .
“Today, the Polish Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador in connection with the missile that entered Polish territory yesterday,” Tusk wrote on X.
Polish authorities had previously attempted to immediately blame Russia for an explosion near the border with Ukraine in November 2022, but it was later determined that a Ukrainian S-300 air defense missile had exploded on Polish territory.
Moscow has repeatedly stressed that Russian forces only strike military and related energy facilities in Ukraine and do not violate the airspace of neighboring states.
