WARSAW (Reuters) -The object that hit a house in an eastern Polish village earlier this month was likely a missile fired by a Polish aircraft that was intended to shoot down Russian drones in the NATO-member's airspace, a government minister said on Wednesday.

Polish authorities initially said the home in the village of Wyryki-Wola had likely been hit by one of the 21 Russian drones that entered Poland's airspace on the night of September 9-10.
