Russia’s defense ministry says it did not plan to attack any targets in Poland, after Warsaw said 19 Russian drones entered its airspace during overnight attacks on western Ukraine.
In a daily update on strikes against Ukraine, the Defense Ministry said: “No objects on Polish territory were planned to be targeted.”
“The maximum range of UAVs used in the strike does not exceed 700 km. Nonetheless, we are ready to hold consultations with the Polish defense ministry on the subject,” it said.
Authorities in Poland have found seven drones and the remains of an unidentified object in sites across the country following the multiple incursions of Polish airspace overnight, an interior ministry spokeswoman says.
Karolina Galecka said at a news conference that five of the drones and the remains of the unidentified object were found in different locations across Lublin province, in eastern Poland, which borders Belarus and Ukraine.
She said the remaining two drones were discovered in central and northern Poland, much further from the borders.
