In a Polish forest, pieces of a ‘unidentified military device‘ were found.
On social media, rumors are already circulating regarding the provenance of the bones found close to the town of Zamo, which is located approximately nine miles from Bydgoscz.
On Twitter, the Ministry of Defense acknowledged the discovery while emphasizing that it poses no threat to the security of locals.
The remnants of an unnamed military complex were discovered close to the town of Zamo, which is roughly 15 kilometers from Bydgoszcz, according to a statement.
“The situation does not jeopardize locals’ safety.” The location of the discovery is being looked into by police, military police, and sappers.
Authorities are yet to identify the object, or say how long it has been in the area.
Broadcaster RMF FM reported that it was an air-to-surface missile measuring at least several metres, stuck in the ground, with its head missing. But no sources were identified in the report.
Poland has been on high alert for possible spillover of weaponry from the war in neighbouring Ukraine.
In November, two people were killed near the border by what Warsaw concluded was a misfired Ukrainian air defence missile.
The area where the object was found is hundreds of miles from the borders with Ukraine, Belarus and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.
