The Staff Sargent added that amongst the debris they found an object which looks like a propeller, these are used on Shahed drones supplied by Iran to Russia.

A witness told the local Łuków TV station, “I was woken by a loud bang that shook the windows. I looked outside but couldn’t see anything. It wasn’t until the morning that I noticed the lights of police cars.”

Polish authorities wrote in a statement, “In reference to the information about the discovery of object remains in the Łuków County area, we inform you that after conducting preliminary analyses of radar system records, no violation of Polish airspace was recorded last night from either Ukraine or Belarus.”
