Authorities in Poland have confirmed that a drone that crashed in a cornfield in the early hours of the morning is of Russian origin.

Poland's Defense Minister called the incident a provocation.

Polish media report the object is most likely a decoy drone without a warhead and containing only a small amount of explosives.

All right, let's pick up that part of the story.

Put this in context now with Yuri Ruschetto.

What more can you tell us about this drone?

The drone crashed into a cornfield in the village of Osiny, about 100 kilometers southeast of Warsaw, the capital of Poland, and

There were no casualties, but windows in nearby buildings were damaged.

According to the public prosecutor's office in Poland, an object was found in the field that was most likely a military drone.

And the Foreign Ministry spokesman later confir confirmed that based on the information, it was a Russian shahed drone that left air crater 50cm deep.

It said it's unclear whether the explosion happened in the air or on the ground.

Poland's Defense Minister said that Russia was once again trying to provoke NATO countries with this action.

Yeah, I mean, the question comes up, how much of a threat are we talking about here?

Because we have to keep in mind, of course, that Poland is a member of NATO.

And this is not the first time, not the first time that the Russian military drone has crashed on the territory of an EU and NATO member state.

Just a few weeks ago, a drone crashed here in neighboring Lithuania.

Lithuania then called on NATO to intensify its efforts to improve air defense in Lithuania.

Two kilograms of explosive material were found in the drone.

However, the drone didn't explode back then.

A year later, Brandt In September 2024, a drone crashed here in Latvia.

Latvia has strengthened its land, air and sea borders and the national armed forces are also working closely with NATO allies to ensure security throughout the region.

A similar incident also happened in Romania.

The response everywhere has been so far calm but determined.

This is because these are clearly provocations, hybrid warfare in which Russia is less concerned with actually causing a lot of damage than with probably testing NATO's willingness to respond, in this case possibly with military force.

As I said, Latvians, Lithuanians and Poles have so far responded with concern, but

calmly and have not allowed to be provoked.

The result is the strengthening of air defense and even closer coordination with the others with NATO allies.

A list that is getting longer and longer.
