Prosecutor Grzegorz Trusiewicz announced that early evidence points to a drone that entered the area from Belarus, with law‑enforcement and military present on site, while the drone type remains unidentified.
Prosecutor’s Statement
Prosecutor Grzegorz Trusiewicz confirmed that preliminary investigations show a high probability that the exploding drone over Osina entered from Belarus. Three witnesses who saw and heard the object were questioned, and three more will be interviewed today. Videos of the event support the claim. Around 150 investigators and six prosecutors are already on the scene, and the search area has been expanded to a fifth sector, with additional military support expected.
Forensic Limitations
As of now, the forensic team cannot yet determine the exact model of the drone that exploded in Osina.
Expert Analysis
Professor Adam Radomyski, from the Polish Air Force Academy, explained that detection of low‑altitude objects is difficult. At heights of 50 m and below, terrain obstacles and radio noise hamper even highly trained operators. He emphasized that current air‑defense radar systems are mainly designed to detect faster, larger targets like aircraft and that slower drones, such as the Geran‑2, can slip through gaps.
Government Comments
Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak called the incident another Russian provocation, stressing that Russia is using hybrid warfare tactics during a delicate peace dialogue period. He assured that Poland will invest in systems to prevent similar incidents in the future. Foreign Minister Paweł Wroński confirmed that the drone that detonated in Osina was a Russian variant of the Shahed drone, commonly known in Russian service as Geran‑2.
