Poland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Russia's Chargé d'Affaires on September 10th, 2025, following multiple Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace overnight, the ministry announced earlier today. Reports indicate that at least one Russian "Geran" attack drone penetrated nearly 300 km into Polish airspace, with its wreckage found in Mniszków, according to RMF24. Virtual Poland has released a map detailing locations where drone wreckage has been discovered. These drones, often employed as decoys in Ukraine, can be armed with warheads carrying up to 5kg of explosives. The summons follows Prime Minister Donald Tusk's confirmation that over 20 Russian unmanned aerial vehicles violated Polish airspace overnight, with the last drone destroyed at 6:45 AM UTC. Tusk described the incursions, some originating from Belarus, as an "unprecedented and incomparably more dangerous provocation." The Ministry of Defense of Belarus had claimed to inform Poland about the drones and attributed their drifting off course to electronic warfare. Airspace closures, implemented 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. 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. Poland is considering invoking Article 4 of the NATO treaty in response to the violations.
