On September 15, an unauthorized civilian drone was detected near the Aegis Ashore missile defense base in Redzikowo, Poland. The Polish Ministry of National Defence confirmed the drone flew within a restricted no-fly zone, approximately 500 meters to 1 kilometer from the US Navy-operated facility, for about five minutes.

Military officials stated that air defense systems monitored the drone and that it did not pose a threat to critical objects. Rather than immediate neutralization, a military duty officer notified civilian emergency services and the police. The Ministry is currently coordinating with law enforcement and has identified the drone’s location of operation.
