Fragments of a U.S.-made AIM-120C-7 missile were discovered in a garden in Eastern Poland on September 10th, 2025, likely fired by Polish or Dutch F-16s or F-35s intercepting a Russian drone during last night's intrusion. The twelfth Russian drone was found in the village of Pinattery of the Vengravsky district, and another drone was located in Sobótka, Ożarów commune, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Radosław Sikorski, previously stated that the drone intrusions were deliberate. Poland's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, stated on September 10th, 2025, that he had spoken with the defense ministers of allied countries including the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Finland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, and Ukraine, all of whom provided support for Poland's actions. He confirmed ongoing communication with the NATO Secretary General and other allies, emphasizing solidarity under the hashtag #Strongertogether. These developments follow previous reports confirming that NATO aircraft intervened in response to Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace. Polish authorities had previously recovered debris, including components of Russian drones and an American AIM-120C-7 air-to-air missile. The Ukrainian Air Force also reported multiple aerial threats across Ukraine between 2:32 PM and 2:47 PM UTC on September 10th, 2025, including reconnaissance UAVs and rocket threats. Senator Lindsey Graham had previously voiced strong support for President Donald Trump's stance on Russian airspace violations and urged European allies to impose tariffs on nations supporting Russia's war efforts. Russia's Foreign Ministry has labeled reports of drones in Polish airspace as myths.
