"Last night the Polish airspace was violated by a huge number of Russian drones. Those drones that posed a direct threat were shot down. I am in constant communication with the Secretary General of NATO and our allies,"
"Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said the situation over his country's skies "seems to be under control now." Tusk said there was no need for restrictions that would make life difficult for Polish citizens and that there was no need to panic. He said that Poland was ready to react to attacks and provocations and that consultations with allies were ongoing. Tusk also said there had been no casualties as a result of the incursion."
"Polish aircraft deployed weapons to down 'drone-type objects' that violated the country's airspace"
Poland scrambled air defenses after a large number of Russian drones violated its airspace and engaged assets for the first time during the Ukraine war. Polish aircraft deployed weapons to down 'drone-type objects' and authorities closed airspace, disrupting four airports including Warsaw. Western Ukraine and border regions experienced prolonged air raid alerts during the incident. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk reported the situation as under control, said no casualties occurred, warned against panic, and confirmed ongoing consultations with NATO and allies. The EU described the incursion as appearing intentional, and Ukrainian leadership noted a dangerous precedent.
