A military drone crashed over the Osiny fields, prompting swift communication from the national security office and sparking questions about the armed forces’ presence during the incident.
Explosion in Osiny. Bogucki: Information Flow Was Very Fast
Zbigniew Bogucki, the chief of the President’s Office, said that information about the Osiny incident flowed “very quickly.” He emphasized that the flow is strong, especially through contacts with the Prime Minister and Minister Kosiniak‑Kamysz, and underscored the importance of maintaining good communication channels during such events. Bogucki also addressed doubts regarding the presence of military units at the explosion site, stating that the lack of specialized units operating there for several hours reflected poorly on the system’s responsiveness.
Operational Command: No Airspace Violation Recorded
At approximately 2 a.m. on Wednesday, fragments of a military drone fell onto a cornfield near Osiny in Łuków County, Łublin Voivodeship, causing the drone to explode and shatter nearby windows. Initial analyses of radarlocational systems showed no violation of Polish airspace from Ukraine or Belarus that night. Senior officials noted that such violations confirm Poland’s key mission within NATO: protecting its own territory.
Defense Minister: Russian Provocation
Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak‑Kamysz identified the drone that exploded in Osiny as part of a Russian provocation, calling it a “Russian drone” and noting it resembles the Shahed‑style model. Vice‑Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister Radosław Sikorski warned that Russia’s strategy during key moments, such as ongoing peace talks, is fundamentally provocative, part of a broader hybrid war. He urged Poland to invest in systems to prevent similar incidents in the future.
