Poland said it had shot down drones that violated its airspace during a Russian attack on Ukraine, in what the Nato member said was an “unprecedented violation” of its airspace.
“An operation is under way related to multiple violations of Polish airspace. The military has used weapons against the objects,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on X in the early hours of Wednesday.
The Polish military said that its airspace has been “repeatedly violated by drone-type objects” and that an operation was under way to identify and neutralise them. “Some of the drones that entered our airspace were shot down,” the operational command of Poland’s armed forces said.
