    Drone-like object struck a residential building in eastern Poland, mayor says

    WARSAW (Reuters) -A drone or similar object struck a residential building in Wyryki in eastern Poland but nobody was injured, the local mayor told state-run news channel TVP Info.

    Poland shot down drones that entered its airspace during a large Russian attack in western Ukraine on Wednesday, with the NATO member calling the incursion "an act of aggression".

    "At 6:45 a.m., I received a phone call from one of the office workers saying something had fallen," Wyryki mayor Bernard Blaszczuk told TVP Info.

    "A drone or missile definitely hit the roof; we don't know at this point ... The police are providing security, and we have a crisis management team on site," he said.

    Footage on TVP Info showed a house with a damaged roof and the rafters showing.

    Elsewhere in eastern Poland's Lublin region police said they found a damaged drone in the village of Czosnowka.

    The District Prosecutor's Office in Zamosc, also in the Lublin region, said it had been informed of the discovery of drone components, near a cemetery in the town of Czesniki.
