Gerbera-type drone crashes in a field near Majdan-Sielec in eastern Poland, around 50 km from the Ukrainian border.

On 6 September 2025, the owner of agricultural land near Majdan-Sielec in eastern Poland discovered wreckage of an unidentified unmanned aircraft in a field roughly 50 kilometres from the Ukrainian border and about 500 metres from the nearest buildings. Police received the report at approximately 17:40 and secured the site together with military personnel. Prosecutors later confirmed that the wreckage belonged to a drone constructed largely from a foam-like material, containing electronic components connected to an internal-combustion engine and bearing Cyrillic inscriptions. Explosive-ordnance specialists found no explosive material, investigators found no evidence of an explosion at the site, and no one was injured. The landowner reported hearing a noise at around 02:00 that night which he believed could have been associated with the aircraft’s crash.
