"Authorities in Poland have said that two Belarusian citizens were detained and a drone was neutralised after it was flown over government buildings and the presidential residence in the capital city, Warsaw. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said early on Tuesday that members of the country's State Protection Services apprehended the two Belarusians, and police were investigating the circumstances of the incident."
"The Associated Press news agency quoted Colonel Boguslaw Piorkowski, a spokesperson for the protection service, saying that the drone was not shot down by Polish forces but landed after authorities apprehended the operators. The impression is that this is not something that flew in from abroad but rather launched locally, Katarzyna Pelczynska-Nalecz, Poland's minister of development funds and regional policy, told local media outlet TVN 24, according to the AP."
Two Belarusian citizens were detained after a drone operated over government buildings and the presidential residence in Warsaw. Poland's State Protection Services apprehended the operators and neutralised the drone, which landed rather than being shot down. Police are investigating the circumstances of the incident. Officials indicated the drone likely was launched locally rather than flown in from abroad and urged the public not to conflate the event with last week's Russian drone incursion into Polish airspace. The detentions occurred while Belarus and Russia are conducting Zapad 2025 military drills involving thousands of troops.
