Poland is investigating potential incursions of Russian drones into its airspace following an air alert near the border, according to reports emerging between 1:32 PM and 2:16 PM UTC on September 14th, 2025. A video shared on social media purportedly shows a French aircraft taking off in Poland during the air alert. During this period, the Romanian Ministry of Defense confirmed that pilots were authorized to engage a Russian drone, as stated by Ionuț Moșteanu. Aeris Rimor had also issued a warning for probable threats from the northeast, north, and possibly other areas, associated with a high number of shock UAVs and potential ground-based threats for the evening and night of September 14th, 2025. Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) reported repeated launches of 'ShahED-136' shock UAVs from the Bryansk and Kursk regions earlier on September 14th. Unconfirmed reports also suggested damage to oil loading berths at the Primorsk port. Ukrainian forces reportedly destroyed a Russian ammunition depot in the Donetsk region and a Russian Buk-M3 air defense system near Oleksandrivka, Zaporizhzhia region, on the same day. Russia had claimed to intercept or jam 52 drones and destroy one Iskander-M missile and six additional drones overnight, leading to a temporary flight suspension at Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg. Poland had previously closed all railway border crossings with Belarus amid this heightened activity.
