Police seized the object, and it was examined by bomb disposal experts. It posed no danger.<\/p>\n

Judging by the images, it was a weather balloon transporting contraband cigarettes. It should be noted that the distance from Iwkowa to the Belarusian border is about 300 km. The balloons would have had to travel in a south-western direction to reach the location.<\/p>\n
