Polish army recovers Russian drone on the Baltic Sea coast
Polish authorities have confirmed the discovery of an unmanned aerial vehicle in the coastal area of Rusinowo, in the north of the country. According to statements by Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, initial assessments indicate that the device is of Russian origin and was intended for military purposes.
The discovery was made after an intense day of operations in the sector, where military personnel managed to locate and extract the device from the waters of the Baltic Sea for subsequent technical analysis.
Tension at the border due to aerial activities
This incident adds to a period of maximum alert on Poland’s eastern flank, stemming from a series of massive drone attacks in western Ukraine. Local reports indicated that these incursions affected key infrastructure, including a passenger locomotive and a service station located near the Dorohusk-Yagodzin border crossing.
Russia’s escalation of actions is getting closer and closer to our border.

Ongoing research
- Military specialists are evaluating the drone’s technical specifications to determine its exact purpose.
- The exact circumstances that caused the device to fall into Polish waters are being investigated.
- The Ministry of Defense maintains vigilance against any possible further incursions into the airspace near the border.
Authorities continue to work to clarify this event, which has increased surveillance in a region that is already facing significant challenges due to the conflict in the neighboring country.
