The Polish armed forces have announced that an "unidentified aerial object" crossed into the country's airspace from the direction of Ukraine early on Friday, amid what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called a "massive" round of Russian missile and drone attacks on the country.

The Polish army's Operational Command wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, of the unknown object: "From the moment it crossed the border until the signal disappeared, it was observed by the radars of the country's air defense system.

"In accordance with applicable procedures, the operational commander of the armed forces mobilized the available forces and resources at his disposal," it added.

Polish television channel TV Republika reported that a search for the object was underway in the country's southern Lublin region, near the town of Hrubieszow less than 4 miles from the Ukrainian border.

Krzysztof Komorski, governor of the Lublin region, wrote on X: "We received information that an object appeared on the radar near Hrubieszow. We have no confirmation that it fell within our region."
