A remotely piloted drone was discovered near the fence of the Polish Senate in the central Warsaw park on Tuesday morning around 10 AM. Local authorities immediately cordoned off the area and are investigating the unmanned aircraft near significant government buildings.

Similar Incident Last Week
The discovery comes after another drone incident in downtown Warsaw last Monday. A 21-year-old Ukrainian citizen was flying a drone in the vicinity of the Prime Minister’s Chancellery and the Belvedere, violating the protected airspace. His 17-year-old Russian partner claimed they were showing her the panorama of the Royal Baths.
