Poland has retracted its earlier claims that a drone violated its airspace during a Russian attack on Ukraine in August. After a 10-day search and analysis, the Polish military announced that there is a 99% certainty that no object entered Polish airspace on August 26. The search, which involved mounted units, helicopters, UAVs, and hunters, was called off on September 4. General Maciej Klisz, the operational commander of the Polish Armed Forces, confirmed that the drone, initially reported to be an Iranian-origin Shahed, most likely did not enter Polish airspace.
