On Wednesday, the Polish commission responsible for the re-investigation into the crash headed by former Polish National Defense Minister Antoni Macierewicz, said that an analysis of over 2,000 tests by a police forensic laboratory showed that there was a blast on board the presidential plane, as traces of explosives were detected on 107 out of 215 samples from the crashed aircraft.
