Wreckage from the 17th Russian drone that entered Polish airspace on Sept. 10, has been discovered in the village of Przymiarki, Biłgoraj County, in Lublin Voivodeship, RMF FM reported on Sept. 11, citing the Polish Interior Ministry.

Authorities say the area has been secured by police, and all emergency services have been notified.

Polish authorities data indicated that 19 Russian drones violated Polish airspace in  the overnight attack on Ukraine on Sept. 10. Four of them were reportedly shot down. The Ministry also confirmed finding debris from an unidentified missile.

One of the drones damaged a residential building in Wyrki-Wola (Lublin Voivodeship), but there were no casualties.

In response, Warsaw convened an emergency government meeting and ramped up security measures. NATO later activated Article 4, which calls for consultations among member states in the event of a threat to one of them.

Polish officials are confident that the incursion was deliberate, and the drones were not merely accidental strays.
