The incident comes at a time of heightened regional tensions following a string of airspace violations, writes Euronews.

Poland’s State Protection Service (SOP) has neutralised a drone that was flying over sensitive government locations in Warsaw, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in a post on X.

Two Belarusian citizens were detained in connection with the incident and police have launched an investigation into the incident, Tusk said.

The incident comes at a time of heightened regional tensions following a string of airspace violations. Poland says its airspace was violated in the early hours of Wednesday by a record 19 drones, believed to be from Russia. In response, the Armed Forces of Ukraine said it would send a team to Poland to provide anti-drone training. The Polish government has traditionally been a staunch supporter of Ukraine’s war effort. Total support to Ukraine from Warsaw totals approximately €3.3 billion, in both military and humanitarian assistance.

Poland has also been one of the most welcoming countries in Europe for refugees from Ukraine since Russia"s full-scale invasion in 2022. The country currently hosts the most Ukrainian refugees of any country in Europe, believed to be somewhere in the region of 1 to 1.6 million, according to the UN Refugee Agency.
