Poland’s State Protection Service (SOP) on Monday night neutralised a drone that was flying over sensitive government locations in Warsaw. Prime Minister Donald Tusk shared the development on X, amid ongoing regional tensions following recent airspace violations.

The drone was spotted by two employees of Poland’s State Protection Services working at the Belvedere castle, where the president resides. Two Belarusian citizens were detained in connection with the incident and police have launched an investigation into the incident.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s X post reads, “Just now, the State Protection Service neutralized a drone operating over government buildings (Parkowa) and the Belweder. Two Belarusian citizens were detained. The police are investigating the circumstances of the incident.”

Poland is on high alert after multiple Russian drones crossed into the country last week in what European officials described as a deliberate provocation and causing NATO to send fighter jets to shoot them down.
