Poland says it shot down Russian drones after airspace violation

Poland has reported that it shot down several Russian drones after they violated the country's airspace. The incident occurred during a wave of Russian missile strikes on Ukraine. According to Polish authorities, Nato jets were scrambled to intercept the drones, which had crossed into Polish territory. The drones were ultimately shot down, and Poland has condemned the violation of its airspace as a "provocation." The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between Poland, a Nato member, and Russia, which has been conducting military operations in neighboring Ukraine. Poland has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine and has provided significant military and humanitarian aid since the start of the conflict. The violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones is a concerning development, as it raises the possibility of further escalation between Nato and Russia. The situation remains tense, and both sides are closely monitoring the situation.
