Poland shoots down several Russian drones after an unprecedented violation of its airspace'
"The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces reported early this Wednesday that it had shot down several drones overnight that had entered its airspace as part of a new Russian attack against Ukrainian territory. According to a statement from the military command body, after monitoring a dozen objects on radar both by Polish forces and NATO allied countries it was decided to neutralize those that posed a threat to citizens' safety."
"The military command described the action carried out by these explosive drones as an unprecedented violation of Polish airspace. Polish Defense Minister Wadysaw Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed that Polish fighter jets had used their weapons to destroy hostile objects. We are in constant contact with NATO command, Kosiniak-Kamysz noted. Prime Minister Donald Tusk expressed himself in the same terms, convening an extraordinary meeting Wednesday morning of the National Security Bureau."
Polish military forces intercepted and destroyed several explosive drones after radar systems monitored about a dozen objects tracked by Polish and NATO forces. The drones entered Polish airspace while participating in a new Russian offensive targeting Ukrainian territory and were described as an unprecedented violation. Polish fighter jets engaged and destroyed hostile objects, with national leadership convening emergency security meetings and emphasizing constant contact with NATO command. Air defense systems and allied aircraft were placed on heightened alert as drones previously flew over northern and western Ukraine before crossing into EU and NATO territory.
