Air defences from Poland and NATO were used to shoot down drones from Russia which had violated Polish airspace.<\/p>\n

Russia<\/a> continues to launch drone strikes on Ukraine<\/a> as it bombards the country, destroying buildings and targeting civilians as part of their invasion into the country.<\/p>\n

Poland’s<\/a> Prime Minister Donald Tusk said he had been given a report from his country’s armed forces<\/a> on ‘the shutting down of drones that entered our airspace and could constitute a threat’, adding that he was in ‘constant contact’ with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.<\/p>\n

He said: “Last night the Polish airspace was violated by a huge number of Russian drones. Those drones that posed a direct threat were shot down.<\/p>\n

“I am in constant communication with the secretary general of NATO and our allies.”<\/p>\n

Search efforts to locate the wreckage of these drones is underway, and Poland’s military called it ‘an act of aggression that posed a real threat to the safety of our citizens’.<\/p>\n

One of the drones struck a residential building in the Eastern Polish village of Wyryki, though fortunately nobody was injured in the strike.<\/p>\n

It’s the first time since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in 2022 that NATO military assets have engaged Russian equipment.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time Russian equipment has violated Poland’s airspace during their invasion of Ukraine, with a Russian drone crashing into a field in Poland last month while missiles have passed through Poland’s on the way to their targets.<\/p>\n

Former US<\/a> Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Jim Townsend told<\/a> the BBC said the Russian incursion was unlikely to be a mistake, explaining: “One drone is a mistake, multiple drones is not a mistake.”<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve got to have more time for Poland to figure out what they are finding and see what their views are. But this is more than likely a test – this is a test that NATO has to answer.”<\/p>\n

Russian war material accidentally-on-purpose violating Polish airspace in such numbers and shutting down several of the country’s airports is a serious escalation from Putin’s regime.<\/p>\n

Over in Russia they’ve switched on their ‘doomsday radio station’, known officially as UVB-76<\/a>, which uses call signs, names, or sequences of numbers in codes.<\/p>\n

In the first message heard on it since May and the codes ‘NZHTI’ and ‘HOTEL’ were broadcast over it along with the numbers ’38, 965, 78, 58, 88, 37′.<\/p>\n

Various other nations have offered their support to Poland following this incursion by Russia, with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson calling it ‘unacceptable’.<\/p>\n

He said: “The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine poses a threat to the security of all of Europe.<\/p>\n

“Poland has every right to defend its airspace. We give our full support to Poland, as a NATO ally and EU member. Sweden and Poland stand united in our support for Ukraine.”<\/p>\n

Edgars Rink\u0113vi\u010ds, Latvia’s president, said: “Russian aggression in Ukraine affects us directly and appropriate measures must be taken.”<\/p>\n

He added that Latvia offered ‘full support and solidarity’ to Poland, as Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide called the Russian actions ‘deeply concerning and entirely unacceptable’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
