Following laboratory analysis, investigators returned to the site in Tarnawa-Kolonia on Saturday, August 1, using specialized deep-scanning equipment to secure another required element. <\/p>\n
Marcin Kozak, the press spokesman for the Lublin prosecutor’s office, stated earlier on Saturday, August 1, that a detailed laboratory analysis of elements found during Thursday’s inspection of the missile crash site made it necessary to resume work. Investigators were supported by specialized deep-scanning equipment, while the area was secured by the Military Gendarmerie.<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, the prosecutor announced that the repeated inspection of the vicinity of Tarnawa-Kolonia had been completed. He added that the sought-after object was found and secured for the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n
A Russian missile fell in the Lublin region, prompting an investigation by the prosecutor’s office. On Thursday, July 30, amid a massive Russian attack on western Ukraine, an unidentified object was detected in Polish airspace at 3:40 AM. An F-16 fighter jet was dispatched to identify and intercept it, but at 3:46 AM the object vanished from radars. As it later turned out, it fell in an unpopulated area in the village of Tarnawa-Kolonia.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor’s office determined that it was a Kh-101 missile manufactured in the second quarter of 2026 at a facility in Russia’s Moscow Oblast. On Thursday, it was reported that it contained a significant amount of explosives. The investigation by the 1st Department for Military Affairs of the District Prosecutor’s Office in Lublin is being conducted regarding the violation of Polish airspace and the causation of an air traffic disaster.<\/p>\n
Deputy Prime Minister and Head of the Ministry of National Defense W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz stated on Thursday that one missile entered Polish airspace and a second was close to doing so, but turned back before the border. Government representatives assured that the military was ready to shoot down the missile and would have done so if it had been deemed a threat to populated areas.<\/p>\n
An armed Russian missile fell in a field in the village of Tarnawa-Kolonia, but fortunately, no one was killed. Military representatives assured that if it had flown deeper into the country, it would have been shot down, as analyzed by Dorota Roman on Wyborcza.pl.<\/p>\n
On Friday, July 31, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that in connection with the violation of Polish airspace by the Kh-101 missile, Russian Ambassador Georgiy Michno was summoned. Ministry spokesman Maciej Wewi\u00f3r stated that the diplomat received a protest note from the hands of the undersecretary of state at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and national security advisor Robert Kupiecki.<\/p>\n
The MFA spokesman stated that the ambassador heard an unequivocal condemnation of hostile actions targeting the security of a sovereign state and its citizens. He emphasized that the Polish side demanded the cessation of actions that pose a threat to the life and security of Polish citizens while carrying the risk of an air traffic disaster, noting that any escalation at the border of the EU and the North Atlantic Alliance is unacceptable.<\/p>\n
He underlined that the meeting with the Russian ambassador was brief, lasting several minutes, noting that such missiles (Kh-101) are used exclusively by Russian strategic aviation and that the ambassador naturally disagreed with the premise. He added that Poland does not have remaining Russian consulates to close and is not severing relations with its neighbor, though it disagrees with its policies, which the ambassador clearly heard.<\/p>\n
Michno himself, when leaving the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was asked whether he confirmed that a Russian missile had fallen in the Lublin region, to which the diplomat merely replied, “No.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
