RMF FM journalists learned from their sources that it was probably an air-to-ground rocket, and it was found on Tuesday, but it seems to have fallen some time ago.

The area is located about 500 km away from the border of Ukraine, more than 400 km away from the border with Belarus and about 240 km away from Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast.
