On Saturday, the Polish authorities found a drone that had crashed in a field near the border with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, DPA and Agerpres report.
“Initial investigation suggests that it is probably a military drone that was deployed for surveillance purposes, not a combat-ready one,” Polish military police wrote on Facebook.
During the morning, both the national and military police received a report that an unidentified flying object had been found near the town of Bartoszyce. The investigation carried out by the military police is supervised by state prosecutors.
