Out‑of‑Place Boom Shakes Corn Field in Eastern Poland
What Went Down
During the wee hours of Wednesday, a huge explosion was captured on CCTV inside a cornfield near Osiny village, part of the Wola Mysłowska commune. The blast left a massive crater and ripped windows out of surrounding houses, sending a wave of shock through the sleepy countryside.
Who Might’ve Been Involved?
Investigators speculate the wreckage originated from a Russian drone. The debris, scattered across a scatter of dozens of metres, includes burnt metal and plastic fragments. One fragment even looked like a propeller — the kind that can be fitted on Shahed drones supplied by Iran to Russia.
Police’ First‑hand Account
Staff Sergeant Marcin Józwik of Łuków police spoke to the PAP media outlet after the second hour of the morning. He described finding “burnt objects of various sizes” in the corn field and pointed out a propeller‑shaped part among the wreckage.
Witnesses Were Shaken (Literally)
- A local TV station in Łuków reports that a resident was jolted awake by a loud bang that rattled windows.
- The homeowner couldn’t spot anything from inside the field until the next morning when police cars illuminated the area.
Authorities Keep Their Cool
Poland’s defense ministry warned that “acts of sabotage” cannot be ruled out. The Polish air‑defence system, however, confirms that radar records show no breach of Polish airspace from either Ukraine or Belarus last night. Military police and ground search teams are currently canvassing the scene to identify the object’s origin.
Distance & Context
The incident took place roughly 78 miles from the Belarus border town of Brest, a reminder that even remote rural areas can feel the tremors of international tension.
Updates & What to Watch For
Police, firefighters, and military specialists remain on standby, conducting a thorough analysis of the debris. The Polish air‑defence network is on 24/7 alert, ready to respond to any follow‑up incidents in the region.
