Polish pensioner Tomasz Wesolowski was lucky on Wednesday, when a drone collapsed over his house as he watched the news on the television that even informed about the Russian drones that entered the Poland's airspace, writes Reuters.
Wesolowski was on the ground floor when the drone hit the top of his house at 06:30 (04:30 GMT). The impact destroyed the roof of the house, breaking a bedroom and spreading debris all over the garden.
“I started the TV and all the news were about this massive drone flight, and after a while, I heard a plane flying over … And suddenly something exploded, the chandelier fell from the ceiling in the ground floor,” said the man, who discussed with Reuters in the village of Wyryki-Wola.
“I ran in the yard and saw that the whole roof was made pieces, everything was destroyed,” said the pensioner.
Tomasz Wesolowski's wife, Alicja, said she ran out and saw a plane over her head. Asked if they were bombarded or if someone would start to shoot. None of them was injured.
The Polish authorities announced that 19 drones entered the country's airspace during the night, while Russia launched an attack on neighboring Ukraine, and that they had shot down some of them.
After that, twelve drones and scraps from a rocket were found in several places, officials said.

Urszula Zaprzluk, a neighbor, also heard the noise of a plane over his head.
“Suddenly, I heard something that seemed like an explosion. I jumped, my knees trembled … I went out on the balcony,” she said. “I saw among the trees that my neighbor's roof had disappeared,” the woman added.
And her yard was covered by debris, the chimney and a few tiles were damaged, and a window from a dependence was broken.
“I am simply afraid of this war (from across the border, from Ukraine),” she said.
The woman remembered her mother's stories about World War II and added: “It's better not to reach us.”
