Hungary Calls Ukraine’s Drone Flight Path 'Fake' After Alleged Border Incursion

Kyiv says it has evidence of a Zakarpattia airspace breach, awaiting a Hungarian explanation.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s General Staff reported radar tracking of a drone-type object twice over Zakarpattia on September 26, stating it crossed from Hungary and reentered at different altitudes.
  • Ukrainian defense forces patrolled the Uzhhorod district with a Chaklun-KM UAV unit to counter a potential threat, according to the military.
  • Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha posted a map he said shows the object’s route and asserted the Armed Forces have gathered all necessary evidence.
  • Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó rejected Kyiv’s published flight path as fake and accused President Volodymyr Zelensky of harboring anti-Hungarian sentiment.
  • President Zelensky ordered a full investigation into the reported border violation and signaled a response if such incursions recur, as Ukraine awaits an official explanation from Budapest.
