Poland Says House Damage Likely Caused by Its Own Missile During Drone Incursion

An intelligence chief says evidence now points to a Polish‑fired missile pending expert identification.

Overview

  • Intelligence coordinator Tomasz Siemoniak said all indications are that a missile fired from a Polish aircraft struck the Wyryki-Wola home during last week’s interception of intruding drones.
  • Prosecutors say the object remains unidentified and stress the probe is in an early phase as expert analyses determine the weapon type, according to spokeswoman Anna Adamiak.
  • Polish outlets citing security sources report an AIM-120 AMRAAM from an F-16 suffered a guidance failure and did not detonate due to safety mechanisms; the house was the only recorded damage and no one was hurt.
  • NATO has reinforced air policing under Operation Eastern Sentry, with allies including the UK, Germany and France deploying additional aircraft and systems to bolster Poland’s eastern defenses.
  • The president’s security bureau is pressing for full transparency, Prime Minister Donald Tusk says responsibility ultimately lies with Russia’s drone provocation, and the defense minister plans a cooperation deal for Ukrainian training on counter‑drone tactics.
