Polish fighter jets were captured on footage engaging and downing Russian suicide drones over Poland with missile strikes, a development reported by CEAN Media in the past 14 minutes of this reporting window. This comes as Poland has not yet provided evidence of the Russian origin of the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), according to RIA Novosti's report this morning, citing the interim attorney in the affairs of Andrei Ordash. Overnight, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that more than 20 Russian drones violated Polish airspace, with the last drone reportedly destroyed at 6:45 AM UTC. Tusk described the incursions, some originating directly from Belarus, as an "unprecedented and incomparably more dangerous provocation." Airspace closures, which began overnight, were being lifted with exceptions for the Lublin region by 6:00 AM UTC, though specific airports remained affected until later. French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the incident and pledged solidarity with Poland, while NATO confirmed close consultation with Warsaw. Polish President Andrzej Duda characterized the incursions as an "unprecedented moment" for NATO and Poland. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed full solidarity with Poland, calling the incursion a "reckless and unprecedented violation." Reports indicate that Moscow had been preparing drone attacks on Poland since July, utilizing Polish and Lithuanian SIM cards and reportedly warning Polish authorities about test connections to their mobile networks. Defense Express suggests the objective was intelligence gathering on Poland's air defense systems in preparation for the "Zapad-2025" military drills. Polish forces engaged an unspecified number of Russian drones overnight. Debris from downed drones has been confirmed in Wohyń, Lublin Voivodeship, and in Cześniki, Zamość County, approximately 40 km from the Ukrainian border. One drone reportedly damaged a house in Wyryki, Poland. Ukrainian officials noted that the drone movements and strike direction were deliberate and offered Ukraine's data and assistance. U.S. Representative Joe Wilson condemned the drone attack on Poland as an act of war. Poland is considering invoking Article 4 of the NATO treaty in response to the violations.
