Poland has shot down drones following repeated violations of its airspace during a Russian attack on Ukraine, prime minister Donald Tusk has said.
“An operation is underway related to the repeated violation of Polish airspace,” Tusk wrote on X “The military has used weaponry against the objects.”
The announcement came after Poland closed airports and launched an operation “to neutralise” objects that crossed over its border.
Earlier, Ukraine’s air force reported that Russian drones had entered Nato-member Poland’s airspace, posing a threat to the city of Zamosc, but it subsequently removed that statement from the Telegram messaging app.
