A Russian-manufactured drone crashed into the home of Polish pensioners Tomasz and Mariola Wesolowski in Bychawka Trzecia-Kolonia at 06:30 AM local time (04:30 GMT) on September 10th, 2025, destroying part of their roof and damaging a bedroom while they were reportedly watching news about drone incursions. The incident occurred as Polish authorities confirmed multiple Russian drone breaches of Polish airspace overnight, with debris found across several locations including Pinattery, Sobótka, and Nowe Miasto nad Pilicą. Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Radosław Sikorski, stated that 19 Russian-manufactured drones breached Polish airspace last night, asserting these incursions were deliberate and potentially aimed at circumventing Ukrainian air defenses around Lviv. Fragments of Russian drones, including Iranian "Shahed" models, and a U.S.-made AIM-120C-7 missile, likely fired by NATO aircraft, have been recovered. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested the drone activity might be linked to joint Russian-Belarusian military drills, noting that Russian drones began moving toward the Polish border around 1 AM, utilizing both Ukrainian and Belarusian airspace, though an analysis suggests there is no invasion force in Belarus. Poland has requested additional air defense systems and counter-drone technology from its allies in response to the incursions. U.S. Representative Joe Wilson condemned the attack, calling it an "act of war" and advocating for the reimposition of Jackson-Vanik trade restrictions on Russia. He noted that the attack occurred less than a week after President Trump hosted Polish President Nawrocki at the White House. Senator Lindsey Graham reiterated calls for "bone crushing new sanctions and tariffs" against nations supporting Russia's war efforts. President Donald Trump previously condemned the "insane violation" of Polish airspace. Russia's Foreign Ministry has previously labeled reports of drones in Polish airspace as myths. The Ukrainian Air Force reported multiple threats across Ukraine between 2:32 PM and 2:47 PM UTC on September 10th, 2025, including reconnaissance UAVs and rocket threats.
