Poland announced the restriction of air traffic in its eastern regions this morning, September 11th, a day after its forces shot down what it described as Russian drones over its territory. Deputy Prime Minister Radek Sikorski stated the convening of the UN Security Council 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 (@MSZ_RP) via X, formerly Twitter. This development follows an incident where Polish forces reportedly engaged and downed Russian drones. Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski made these remarks on the air during an interview with @radio_rmf24. The exact timing and nature of the drone incursion and the subsequent engagement were not immediately detailed. The UN Security Council is expected to convene to discuss the matter, a request confirmed by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs earlier today. No official comment from Russia or the United Nations regarding the UN Security Council session has been issued at this time. Separately, as of September 8, 2025, Russian forces had sustained 2,787 equipment losses in the Pokrovsk Raion offensive, with Ukrainian forces incurring 899 equipment losses, according to figures shared by user @naalsio26 on X.
