@horizongeopoliticalnews: What just happened in Poland? Overnight, nineteen Russian drones crossed into Polish airspace during a massive assault on Ukraine. This marks one of the most serious airspace breaches of a NATO country since the war began. Polish air defenses, backed by NATO allies, scrambled F-16s, German Patriot batteries, and Dutch F-35s. Several drones were downed, and debris landed in villages in eastern Poland, damaging buildings but causing no casualties. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the incursion an “act of aggression” and warned that Europe is closer to a military conflict than at any time since World War Two. In response, Poland invoked Article 4 of the NATO treaty, forcing alliance-wide consultations. Airports, including Warsaw Chopin, were temporarily closed as authorities raised the alert level. Residents in affected regions have been told to avoid debris and remain cautious. European leaders quickly condemned the violation, with Ursula von der Leyen urging tougher sanctions on Russia. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, argued the drones may have been deliberately aimed at Poland to destabilize the region. Moscow denies responsibility, calling the accusations groundless.
