She stated that such actions are “irresponsible and potentially dangerous”.

Background: 

• After Russia’s large-scale attack on Ukraine on the morning of 26 August, Poland reported a violation of its airspace by an “aerial object”, which was likely a kamikaze drone.
• Maciej Klisz, Commander of the Polish Armed Forces’ Operational Command, stated that the object that flew in from Ukraine was not shot down because of weather conditions.
• Polish media, citing sources in the military, reported that they were inclined to believe that the drone was a Shahed and had remained in the country’s airspace for at least 33 minutes.
