Polish missile likely hit house during Russian drone incursion, says minister
- On the night of September 9-10, 2025, around 20 Russian drones crossed into Polish airspace, damaging a house in Wyryki-Wola, eastern Poland.
- The incursion occurred amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict and was considered a deliberate provocation by Poland and NATO, while Russia denied targeting Poland.
- Investigations suggest that the damage to the house was caused by a malfunctioning AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missile launched by a Polish F-16 jet defending against incoming Russian drones, rather than by debris from a drone itself.
- A source said the missile, weighing over 150 kilograms and about three meters long, did not explode because its fuse's safety devices activated during impact.
- Poland continues investigating and providing full information to authorities, with political leaders demanding clarity while affirming Russia’s responsibility for provoking the incident.

The Polish Government acknowledged that a rocket had accidentally been fired by a Polish fighter at the time of the invasion of Russian drones, and that it had damaged the roof of a residential building rather than the wreckage of a drone.
