Polish fighter jets were repeatedly observed over Poland between 1:45 AM and 2:00 AM UTC on September 10th, 2025, in response to ongoing Russian drone threats and suspected airspace violations, according to multiple reports. The Polish Operational Command confirmed that armament was used to identify and neutralize drone objects that repeatedly violated Polish airspace during the ongoing Russian Federation's attacks on Ukrainian territory. The most endangered regions were identified as Podlasie, Masovian, and Lublin provinces. During this 15-minute reporting window, the Polish Operational Command stated that its forces and assets remain in full readiness for immediate response, with ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems at peak readiness. "The operation is underway to identify and neutralize objects. At the request of the RSZ operational commander, armament was used and the activities of services are underway to find shot down objects," the command stated. They urged citizens to remain at home as army surgery is still underway. Meanwhile, a report from Nikolaevskiy Vanek indicated that approximately 20 drones, described as "mopeds," were airborne, with some observed flying west near Zhytomyr and others on courses towards Kalush, Kyiv, and Vinnitsa. The Air Force of Ukraine also reported Shahed drones in the direction of Irpin/Bucha and noted activity in the Frankivsk region. Separately, President Donald Trump informed European officials of his willingness to impose new tariffs on India and China to encourage President Vladimir Putin to negotiate with Ukraine, conditional on similar actions by EU nations, according to Bloomberg. Previous reports from 1:30 AM to 1:45 AM UTC noted continued drone movements towards Polish territory, prompting the deployment of Polish military jets. An airborne early warning aircraft was also noted operating near Lublin during that earlier period. The earlier restrictions on Polish airspace, including Warsaw's Modlin and Chopin airports, began around 1:30 AM UTC due to "unplanned military activity related to ensuring state security."
