Poland ‘Neutralizes’ Drone Flying Over Government Buildings
Get caught up
Poland neutralized a drone flying over government buildings on Monday evening and detained two Belarusian citizens over the incident. Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that the drone had been spotted over the Belweder Palace, an official presidential residence, and government buildings in the center of the Polish capital. An investigation into the incident continues, he said in a post on X.
State Protection Services spokesman Boguslaw Piorkowski told Bloomberg News that the drone was secured with “no shots fired.” It comes less than a week after Poland’s airspace was violated by around 20 Russian drones, prompting widespread concern about the bloc’s ability to fend off future incursions.
