小池都知事に不利なことを言うと退場させられる?

Publisher’s rating: 不正確

A Tokyo assembly member was ordered to leave during a committee meeting, but the review says this was a procedural exclusion from deliberations on a matter involving him—not punishment for criticizing Koike. The video’s editing made the expulsion appear to be a response to his criticism of the governor.

A user on the social media platform X shared a picture of a map with a drone crash site in Mniszkow. The post said it was one of the Russian drones that entered the Polish airspace in the early morning of September 10. That is almost 300 kilometers (180 miles) from the eastern Polish border, where the other drones were found. In the comments section, some users were wondering if this information was true.

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: True According to Poland's Interior Ministry Polish authorities are on duty in Podlasie, Mazovia, Lublin and Subcarpathia. At least three crash sites of 19 drones in total were confirmed in eastern Poland. However, another drone was also found in Mniszkow, a town located hundreds of kilometers away from the other crash sites. According to local authorities from Opoczno County, an object suspected of being a foreign military drone was discovered early in the morning of September 10 in a field in Mniszkow. It is true that a drone was found at this place, which matches the map attached in the social media post.

A user on TikTok shares several videos allegedly showing Russian drone attacks on Poland. The description of one of the video reads "5 Minutes ago! Polish NATO Jets destroy record number of Shahed drones." The videos all have the same look and some have hundreds of thousands of views.

Publisher’s rating: Verdict: Fake The video scenes do not show the recent drones that entered Polish airspace, but are from the video game "Arma 3." Several users mentioned this suspicion in the comment section and referred to the video game. Through a reverse image search, it is possible to track it back to a YouTube account sharing the exact same scenes as the TikTok user. The description says: "Arma 3 footage! Not real news!" The account regularly shares videos of combat operations in the form of video game simulations, which are often linked to the war in Ukraine.

A TikTok user has shared a video of a drone flying. The date mentioned in the video is "Poland, 10 September 2025," linking it to the current incident of Russian drones entering Polish airspace. The video was viewed more than 2.4 million times.

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: False The video does not show a Russian drone in Poland, and that's quite easy to detect: An important first detail is the daylight in the video. The video shows a drone during the day, but the drones appeared overnight. The first airspace breach occurred at about 11:30 p.m. local time (2130 GMT/UTC) and continued until about 6:30 a.m. It was dark at that time. A reverse image search provides further information: The video has already appeared several times in the past, such as in February, when a Ukrainian website reported on Russian drone attacks, and again in July. So the video is not linked to the current situation. Still, we were not able to find the exact origin of the video.
