In September 2025, during massive Russian drone attacks, some drones fell on Polish territory.

Omissions

• The claim refers broadly to 'September 2025' without specifying that the incursion occurred on the specific night of 9–10 September.
• The phrasing separates 'some were shot down' from 'some fell on Polish territory,' implying two distinct categories, whereas in reality the drones that were shot down also fell on Polish territory (as wreckage).
• The claim omits that these were identified as unarmed Gerbera-type reconnaissance drones rather than armed attack drones, which is relevant context for assessing the nature of the incursion.
