At least three “Shahed” attack drones have reportedly been downed within the last few minutes over Eastern Poland, with additional possibly heading in the direction of Rzeszów and Zamość. Both the Ukrainian Air Force and aircraft with the NATO Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) are working to track and shoot down any remaining drones launched by Russia against Poland.

Just a reminder: all reports about the drones are coming from Ukrainian sources. Poland has issued a statement, as it has many times before, but has not confirmed any drone presence in its airspace. And it’s worth noting that Russian drones and missiles pass through Polish airspace fairly often. It also wouldn't be the first time that Ukraine is trying to drag NATO into war with Russia...so... you decide I guess.
The Polish daily newspaper Fakt: “Restless night over Poland. Russia is carrying out massive attacks on the territory of Ukraine. It was officially stated that Polish and allied aircraft are operating in our space, and ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems have reached a state of peak readiness. There were also some very worrying information, but the military did not confirm them.”

Russia is attacking NATO ally Poland with Iranian shahed drones less than a week after President Trump hosted President Nawrocki at the White House. This is an act of war, and we are grateful to NATO allies for their swift response to war criminal Putin’s continued unprovoked aggression against free and productive nations. I urge President Trump to respond with mandatory sanctions that will bankrupt the Russian war machine and arm Ukraine with weapons capable of striking Russia. Putin is no longer content just losing in Ukraine while bombing mothers and babies, he is now directly testing our resolve in NATO territory. Putin stated that “Russia knows no borders.” Free and prosperous nations will teach Russia about borders.

Statement now from the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces confirming that Russian drones have crossed into Poland: “Attention, during today's attack by the Russian Federation targeting objects located on Ukrainian territory, our airspace was repeatedly violated by drone-type objects. An operation is underway aimed at identifying and neutralizing the objects. On the orders of the Operational Commander of the Polish Armed Forces, weaponry has been deployed, and services are actively working to locate the downed objects. We emphasize that the military operation is ongoing, and we urge people to stay at home. The most affected areas are the Podlaskie, Mazowieckie, and Lubelskie voivodeships. The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces is monitoring the current situation, and the forces and resources under its command remain fully prepared for immediate response.”
Residents in Eastern Poland are urged to shelter-in-place by the Polish Armed Forces, who emphasize that a military operation is ongoing, adding that the most affected areas are the Podlaskie, Mazowieckie, and Lubelskie Voivodeships along the border with Belarus and Ukraine.
