Polish officials say a Lufthansa plane that was approaching Warsaw's international airport nearly collided with a drone.
The spokesman for Warsaw's airport, Przemyslaw Przybylski, said today that the incident happened yesterday afternoon, and the drone was within 100 metres of the plane arriving from Munich.
He said the near-collision occurred about 5 kilometres from the airport.
Mikolaj Karpinski, with the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency, told the TVN24 broadcaster that the pilots immediately reported the drone to air traffic controllers, who redirected the plane's path.
