Overview

• Security chief Tomasz Siemoniak said indications favor a rocket fired from a Polish jet during interceptions, while prosecutors stress the object remains officially unidentified and the probe is still early.
• The damage occurred in Wyryki-Wola after at least 19 presumed Russian drones penetrated Polish airspace on the night of September 9–10, with no injuries reported and this being the only confirmed property damage.
• Polish outlets Rzeczpospolita and Gazeta Wyborcza report the object was likely an AIM-120 AMRAAM from an F-16 that suffered a guidance failure, and sources say the warhead’s safety mechanisms prevented an explosion.
• President Karol Nawrocki’s office demanded full disclosure, while Prime Minister Donald Tusk assigned responsibility to Russia for the provocation and pledged findings would be released when the investigation concludes.
• NATO boosted air policing under Operation Eastern Sentry with additional allied jets, and Poland moved to tap Ukrainian expertise on drone defense as European debate grows over more cost‑effective countermeasures.
