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 says this Tuesday that members of the country’s State Protection Services apprehended the two Belarusians, saying that the police were “investigating the circumstances of the incident”.
A spokesperson for the protection service, Boguslaw Piorkowski says that the drone was not shot down by Polish forces but landed after authorities apprehended the operators.
Also piorkowski advised the public against rushing to conclusions or associating the incident with last week’s high-profile invasion by multiple Russian drones into Polish airspace during an aerial attack on neighbouring Ukraine
