A small toy-like drone of unknown origin crashed onto a military base in Przasnysz, in north-central Poland, military police said on Monday, confirming a report from Radio Zet.
Authorities across Europe have been on high alert for drones following a series of incidents that disrupted operations at airports and military facilities.
Military police spokesman Tomasz Wiktorowicz said security officers had observed the drone flying over the base before it fell onto the premises.
“The toy-like device was secured. It was later handed over to the military police, and an investigation is underway,” he said, according to Telegrafi.
He added that the device was simple, likely controlled via a mobile phone, and had lost contact with its operator.
“No recording equipment, such as memory cards or SIM cards that could transmit data, was found in the device,” he noted.
