Russian drone almost hit former CIA director; may have targeted Boris Johnson

A Russian drone was discovered on a Polish beach near Jarosławiec, according to Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. He stated that a preliminary examination revealed the drone to be of Russian origin and that emergency services were attending to the scene. Poland's Armed Forces Operational Command reported that they had not detected any breaches of national airspace since July 31.

Command spokesperson Jacek Goryszewski told PolsatNews that the incident could not currently be linked to an attack by the Russian Federation. Russian forces had attacked a gas station near the Yahodyn border crossing and a passenger train on the Kyiv-Warsaw railway line on September 13, resulting in two injuries at the gas station and no injuries on the train.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that "escalation on the part of the Russian Federation is becoming a fact," and expressed concern that Russia may intensify its actions in Ukraine in the coming weeks and months, potentially affecting Polish territory. Meduza, the news outlet reporting this story, is committed to transparency about its use of artificial intelligence in the newsroom.
