Poland shoots down Russian drones in unprecedented airspace breach
Several Russian attack drones crossed into Polish airspace during massive nighttime attack on Ukraine, prompting an immediate military response, Poland’s Operational Command reported on X on Sept. 10.
Multiple drones violated the country’s airspace in what it called “an unprecedented act of aggression”.
“This is a real threat to the safety of our citizens,” the official statement read.
Polish forces initiated defensive procedures, tracked dozens of aerial objects, and successfully shot down several drones that entered Polish territory. Military units are now locating and securing debris from the downed UAVs.
Officials assured the public that the situation is under control and that both Polish and allied forces remain on high alert.
As a precaution, four Polish airports — Warsaw Chopin, Warsaw-Modlin, Rzeszów-Jasionka, and Lublin — were temporarily shut down due to airspace threats.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
