Polish officials have claimed that the country’s military intercepted several drones that crossed from Ukraine during overnight Russian strikes, describing the incident as an “unprecedented” violation of national airspace. Moscow has yet to comment on the allegation, and Warsaw has yet to show any evidence.
Polish armed forces launched an operation in response to “multiple violations of Polish airspace” and defensive weapons were used against the objects, Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on X early Wednesday morning.
