An unidentified object entered Polish airspace and crashed near Tarnawa-Kolonia on Thursday, prompting Prime Minister Donald Tusk and defense officials to convene an immediate emergency security coordination meeting. <\/p>\n
An unidentified object was detected in Polish airspace at 3:40 AM on Thursday, with its probable crash site located near the village of Tarnawa-Kolonia, according to the Operational Command of the Armed Forces (DORSZ). In response to the night events, Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz participated in a coordination team meeting with representatives of various services at 10:15 AM.<\/p>\n
During the night from Wednesday to Thursday, DORSZ reported the operation of military aviation in Polish airspace due to Russian long-range aviation activity carrying out strikes on Ukrainian territory. In the morning, the Command stated that air defense radar systems observed the activity of at least a dozen missiles operating over western Ukraine, which posed a potential threat due to their flight direction.<\/p>\n
The closest missile approached Poland’s border at 3:29 AM, coming within about 5 kilometers before changing direction and heading east. Subsequently, at 3:40 AM, an unidentified object moving westward was detected, and a duty F-16 fighter jet was scrambled to identify and intercept it.<\/p>\n
At 3:46 AM, before a definitive identification could be made, the object vanished from radar system indications. To verify and finally confirm the technical readings, an Mi-24 helicopter was directed to the area of the last known position.<\/p>\n
The helicopter crew located the probable crash site of the object in an uninhabited area near Tarnawa-Kolonia in the Lublin Voivodeship. Operational and securing actions are currently underway at the site, with a Ground Search and Rescue Team and relevant services deployed.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Donald Tusk traveled to the Lublin region in the morning after convening the coordination team. The team gathered at the Lublin Voivodeship Office, where the Prime Minister noted that government services had been working at the scene for hours and systematically reporting all circumstances.<\/p>\n
Lublin police reported via X that they received a report on Thursday morning about a loud bang heard in the Bi\u0142goraj County between Tarnawa Kolonia and Biskupice. After 5:00 AM, police found a crater and scattered elements of an unidentified object in a field about 2 kilometers from buildings between Tarnawa Kolonia and Tokary.<\/p>\n
Captain Tomasz Stachyra, spokesperson for the Lublin Provincial Commander of the State Fire Service, informed PAP that firefighters are securing a crater approximately 10 meters in diameter. The Military Gendarmerie, Internal Security Agency, Military Counterintelligence Service, and the District Prosecutor’s Office in Lublin have all been notified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
