Poland's Interior Ministry confirmed this morning, September 10th, 2025, that seven Russian drones and parts of one missile have been recovered following multiple overnight incursions into Polish airspace. The ministry spokesperson stated that debris from downed drones has been found in Wohyń, Lublin Voivodeship, and Cześniki, Zamość County, with one drone reportedly damaging a house in Wyryki, Poland. Overnight, Polish authorities intercepted and destroyed multiple Russian unmanned aerial vehicles that violated Polish airspace, with the last drone reportedly destroyed at 6:45 AM UTC, according to Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The incursions, some originating from Belarus, were described by Tusk as an "unprecedented and incomparably more dangerous provocation." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that at least two Russian drones entering Poland used Belarusian airspace and that Ukrainian forces had informed Polish authorities about the drone movements. In response to the violations, Poland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Russia's Chargé d'Affaires. Polish President Andrzej Duda characterized the incursions as an "unprecedented moment" for NATO and Poland, and the country is considering invoking Article 4 of the NATO treaty. French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the incident and pledged solidarity with Poland, while NATO confirmed close consultation with Warsaw. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed full solidarity with Poland, calling the incursion a "reckless and unprecedented violation." Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán expressed full solidarity with Poland, stating the violation of territorial integrity is unacceptable and that Hungary supports President Donald Trump's efforts aimed at achieving peace. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer also condemned the incident, calling it an "extremely reckless move by Russia." Reports from earlier this morning indicate that at least one Russian "Geran" attack drone penetrated nearly 300 km into Polish airspace, with its wreckage found in Mniszków. Virtual Poland has released a map detailing locations where drone wreckage has been discovered. Defense Express suggests the objective of the drone attacks, which Moscow reportedly began preparing in July, was intelligence gathering on Poland's air defense systems in preparation for the "Zapad-2025" military drills, utilizing Polish and Lithuanian SIM cards and warning Polish authorities about test connections to their mobile networks.
