The drone was discovered in a field. Emergency services are working at the scene and the area has been cordoned off.
"We received a report about the find from an anonymous witness," local police spokeswoman Marta Kabelis said.
According to RMF24, the drone carries Cyrillic markings and is equipped with a camera. It is not a consumer model available in ordinary stores.
RMF24 reports unofficially that the drone could have flown in from Russian territory. Investigators have so far confirmed only that it is of foreign origin. Given its limited range, Polish media rule out a launch from Ukraine.
Context
On 7 May, Latvia detected new unidentified drones in its airspace that had crossed in from Russian territory. The Latvian military said it had decided not to shoot them down because of the excessive risk to civilians.
