- On Thursday, Polish authorities reported an unidentified object created a 10-meter-wide crater in Tarnawa-Kolonia after disappearing from military radar at 3:40 a.m., with Radio Zet first reporting the discovery.
- Russian airstrikes on Ukraine killed at least 13 people, with attacks spreading to Lviv and Kyiv, triggering air raid sirens in Lublin overnight and creating widespread panic in the region.
- "Officers discovered a crater and scattered debris from an unidentified object in a field located about 2 km from the nearest buildings, between the villages," police added on X near Biskupice.
- A Mi-24 helicopter verified the radar data and pinpointed the crash site, while Polish firefighters are now securing the 33-foot-wide crater to assist the ongoing investigation.
- Authorities remain vigilant as investigations continue into the crater's cause, which underscores regional strain caused by the escalating conflict in neighboring Ukraine.
