The fact that a Russian drone hit a house in the Lublin Voivodeship was confirmed by the owners of the house themselves. The explosion on the night of September 10, when dozens of Russian drones violated Polish airspace, was also heard by other residents of the village where the incident occurred.
Telegram channels began spreading information that a house in the town Wiryki-Wola of Lublin Voivodeship was actually destroyed by a storm that occurred two months before the Russian drone attack.
On September 10, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that 19 Russian drones had been detected in the country’s airspace overnight, a significant part of which had flown in from Belarus. One of the drones fell on a residential building in the Lublin Voivodeship in the town of Wiryki-Wola. The buildings were damaged, but no one was injured.
The owners of the house were watching the news about Russian UAVs flying to Poland at the time when the Russian drone crashed into the roof of their house.
«I turned on the TV, and all the news was about a mass surge of drones, and after a while I heard a plane fly by… and suddenly there was a loud explosion, and a lamp fell in the living room on the first floor,» Tomasz Wesolowski told Reuters in the Polish village of Wiryki-Wola.
Their neighbors also heard the explosions, which they told journalists about.
According to Polish media RMF FM, firefighters and other emergency services were working at the scene. In an interview with RMF FM the commune mayor Bernard Blaszczuk said that classes at two schools in the commune had been canceled that day. «Tomorrow (September 11), if everything goes well, we will resume classes,» he said. The mayor also added that he heard the sound of airplanes early in the morning, around 6:45 a.m.
Poland also made an official decision to launch an investigation into Russian drones that entered the country’s airspace on Wednesday night. The investigation into the drone incident will be conducted by the military department of the District Prosecutor’s Office in Lublin.
According to the latest data, fragments of Russian drones were found in 17 towns in five Polish voivodeships, the largest number of which is 10 in the Lublin voivodeship.
Earlier, StopFake refuted the claim that Ukraine allegedly redirected Russian drones to Poland using electronic warfare.
