Poland investigates drone fragments on Baltic beach, says likely from military test

WARSAW, Oct 14 (Reuters) - ‌Polish military ​police ​are investigating an object likely to be a Polish drone found ‌on a Baltic Sea beach on ⁠Tuesday, authorities said.

Private radio station RMF FM reported ‌that a passerby discovered ‌what resembled a drone and reported it to the police, with military sappers and ​other services then arriving at the scene.

Preliminary findings indicate the fragments belong ⁠to a test drone from a Polish military aviation technology ​institute, the defence ministry spokesperson said, adding that the investigation into the ​object is ongoing.

Poland is ‌the largest NATO member on the alliance's eastern flank, and borders ⁠Ukraine. A series of airspace incursions by Russian drones in the region have fuelled concerns ⁠about the war in Ukraine spilling over the ​alliance's borders.

Military police said late on Tuesday on X that they "are investigating the circumstances of the discovery ‌of fragments of an unidentified flying object on October 13, 2026, ‌at approximately 6:30 p.m. local time on ⁠the beach in ‌Karwia, Puck County."
