Polish and Dutch military jets were scrambled on September 11th, following an incursion of Russian drones over Polish airspace, leading Poland to restrict air traffic in its eastern regions. The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced its request for a UN Security Council meeting to address the violation, described as an "unprecedented alarm in NATO history." Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany was reportedly informed of the situation overnight. Deputy Prime Minister Radek Sikorski stated that the UN Security Council convening aims to draw global attention to the "unprecedented attack of Russian drones on the state, a member not only of the UN, but also the European Union and NATO." The announcement was made by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs via X, formerly Twitter. The exact timing and nature of the drone incursion and the subsequent engagement were not immediately detailed, though previous reports indicated Polish forces engaged and downed Russian drones yesterday, September 10th. Separately, Ukrainian Armoured Vehicles announced it has delivered 1,000 Novator and Novator-2 armored vehicles to the Ukrainian military since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022. The company is also expanding its Novator line with new variants including ambulance, command post, and sapper models. In another development, Russian milblogger Rybar reports that Ukraine has intensified strikes on western Crimea since August, targeting radar stations, communication infrastructure, and logistics hubs to weaken Russian air defenses, according to a report from NOELreports on X. An extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council will convene to address the reported violation of Polish airspace by Russia, as confirmed by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs earlier today, September 11th. The specific date and time of the meeting were not immediately provided. No official comment from Russia or the United Nations regarding the convened meeting has been issued at this time. Separately, a statement from Team Navalny urged the EU not to introduce a ban on tourist visas for ordinary Russians.
