Suspected fragments of a missile believed to have been used to shoot down a drone may have been found in the eastern Lublin region, Polish military police said, more than a week after Poland, backed by NATO jets, shot down Russian drones in its airspace.
The Lublin branch of the military police is expected to carry out forensic inspections of the object on Thursday, authorities said on X.

Russia said it had not been targeting Poland.
Polish and allied aircraft were deployed to protect Polish airspace on Saturday (13 September) because of a threat of drone strikes in neighbouring Ukraine, and the airport in the eastern Polish city of Lublin was closed, Polish authorities said.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Wednesday (17 September) he had activated Article 4 of NATO's treaty, under which alliance members can demand consultations with their allies.
