According to the TVN24 channel, the soldiers appeared in the village of Sosnowa-Dembowa in the Lublin Voivodeship at around eight in the morning on Saturday. A large-scale search operation will continue there on the second day. The TV reporter described the soldiers as being on the move in the flood area. According to him, the army assures that it wants to ensure that residents are not in danger and that no one finds parts of the Russian missile.
The Polish Army operational command also reported on the search operation, writing in the X network that around 480 soldiers were involved in the ground search for possible parts of the object that violated Polish airspace on Friday. “The aim of the search is to finally confirm that no element of the object remained on Polish territory,” the task force wrote.

“We already have preliminary confirmation from the Ukrainian side that this missile flew back into Ukrainian airspace. “However, we must exclude all possible scenarios and thoroughly investigate that there is definitely nothing left on the territory of our country,” said Jacek Goryszewski, the spokesman for the operational command, according to TVN 24, when asked why the search continued when the rocket landed not and left Polish airspace again.
The Polish operational command announced on Friday that an unknown object flew into the country’s airspace from the border with Ukraine in the morning and then disappeared from radar. The state leadership, the Bundeswehr and the security forces discussed the situation. General Kukula then announced that everything indicated that it was a Russian missile. “The object moved over Polish territory at a depth of about 40 kilometers for about three minutes,” the chief of general staff added. According to the media, it was a Russian Ch-101 or Ch-55 guided missile.
Polish diplomacy has summoned the Russian chargé d’affaires over the incident. Moscow has not commented on the incident. The Russian chargé d’affaires in Poland, Andrei Ordas, said on Friday he would not even provide information until Warsaw provided evidence. Solidarity with the Polish ally was expressed on behalf of NATO, of which Poland is a member, by Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
Everything flew. In one of the largest attacks, Russia fired 110 missiles into Ukraine
In connection with the incident, the Polish media recalls the tragedy in Przewodów last year, in which two people were apparently killed when a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile crashed, and parts of a Ch-55 missile found this year in the forest near Bydgoszcz . They also speculate that it may have been a “Russian test of the new Polish government.”
Polish Deputy Defense Minister Stanislaw Wziontek previously said Warsaw could not rule out any scenario, Onet’s website said. “We have to check whether it was a provocation or a confirmation of our reaction,” Wziontek said.
