Caution: The English article uses the word bullet which is misleading.

Source article partial translation:

For now, it is unknown who or what fired at the Polish officers. What is known is that it was an object that hit the border guard vehicle with great force. As Col. Arkadiusz Tywoniuk of the border guards conveyed, “The speed and kinetic energy were significant”.

I don’t know if it was fired from some kind of air weapon. In any case, the object pierced the vehicle’s side window, flew out the other side, and pierced another window. I emphasize that two officers were seated in the vehicle, also risked endangering their life and health," he pointed out.
