Prosecutor Marcin Kozak, spokesperson for the District Prosecutor’s Office in Lublin, stated that authorities are certain the object was a missile\u2014not a drone or a Geran\u2014most likely designated as a Kh-101 containing a significant amount of explosive material.<\/p>\n

He assured that the United States stands firmly with Poland, coordinates closely with Polish authorities, and remains committed to defending Alliance territory and maintaining collective security.<\/p>\n
