STORYLINE:
Poland said Wednesday that several Russian drones entered its territory over the course of many hours and were shot down with help from NATO allies, describing the incursion as an act of aggression carried out during a wave of Russian strikes on Ukraine.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said it did not target Poland, while Belarus, a close ally of Moscow, said it tracked some drones that “lost their course” because they were jammed.
However, several European leaders said they believe that the incursion amounted to an intentional escalation by Russia of its war on Ukraine — and that it must be met with a strong response.
Poland said some of the drones came from Belarus, where Russian and Belarusian troops have begun gathering for war games starting on Friday.
Polish airspace has been violated many times since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but there has been nothing on this scale in Poland or anywhere else on NATO territory. A spokesman said it was the first time the alliance has confronted a potential threat in its airspace.
NATO met to discuss the incident, which came three days after Russia’s largest aerial attack on Ukraine since the war began.
