WARSAW, Oct 14 (Reuters) – Polish military police are investigating an unidentified object found on ​a Baltic Sea beach ‌on Tuesday.

Private radio station RMF FM reported that a passerby discovered what resembled a drone and reported it ‌to ​the police, with ⁠military sappers and ⁠other services then arriving at the scene.

Poland is the largest NATO member on the alliance’s ​eastern flank, and borders Ukraine. A series of airspace ⁠incursions in the ⁠region have fuelled concerns ​about the war in Ukraine spilling ​over the alliance’s borders.

Military police ‌said late on Tuesday on X that they “are investigating the circumstances of the discovery of ⁠fragments of an unidentified flying object on October 13, 2026, at approximately 0630 ⁠pm ‌local time on the ⁠beach in Karwia, Puck ​County.”

Military ‌police spokesman Dariusz Rozkosz ​told the ⁠private TVN24 television station that he could not yet confirm the type of object found.
