Russian drones entered Poland‘s.
Something has happened in the midst of the Russia-Ukraine war that has enraged Poland. Poland has said that Russian drones had entered its airspace. The Polish army has also taken appropriate steps in this matter.
Amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, Poland has said that Russian drones entered its airspace and some of these drones posed a direct threat, which were shot down by its army and NATO allies. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on social media, “Last night a large number of Russian drones violated Poland’s airspace. The drones that posed a direct threat were shot down.”
Polish forces were put on alert
Poland’s armed forces were put on alert on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning ahead of what they described as “large-scale air strikes against targets located in Ukraine.” Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamyz wrote in a post on X that “more than 10 objects” had entered Polish airspace and that those which posed a threat to Poland’s security were neutralised. Warsaw’s Chopin Airport suspended flights for several hours, citing the closure of the airspace due to military operations.
What did Russia say?
Poland’s armed forces said on Wednesday morning that searches were being carried out in the areas where the drone may have fallen. They urged people not to approach any such object, do not touch or move it as these objects can pose a threat and may contain dangerous materials. Poland has previously complained about Russian objects entering its airspace during attacks on Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry said in its report on Wednesday that it destroyed 122 Ukrainian drones overnight in various Russian regions, including Crimea and the Black Sea region.
