Poland on Wednesday said they have shot down multiple Russian drones that entered the country’s airspace while carrying out a major attack on western Ukraine, as the NATO member state denounced the airspace violation by Moscow as an “act of aggression.”
In a post on X, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote, “ Polish airspace was violated by a huge number of Russian drones,” which “posed a direct threat” and were therefore shot down.
Tusk added that he is in “constant communication” with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and Poland’s allies.
The Polish military command said its radars tracked more than 10 objects, which were deemed as threats and “neutralized” them in response, Reuters reported.
The military is conducting a search effort to locate “the potential crash sites of these objects.”
This is a developing story.
