At least five Russian one-way attack drones that entered Polish airspace on Wednesday are believed to have targeted a NATO military base in Rzesz贸w, Poland, a key hub for weapons deliveries to Ukraine, according to a senior NATO officer. Two of these drones were intercepted by Dutch F-35A Lightning IIs, while an additional three crashed under unexplained circumstances, as detailed in preliminary findings by the Polish Armed Forces shared with allies during a security briefing late Wednesday. This development follows Latvia's announcement of closing its airspace along its borders with Russia and Belarus from 6 p.m. on September 11th until at least September 18th as a precautionary measure after Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace. The specific timing of the drone incursions into Poland was not detailed in the provided information but occurred on Wednesday. In related military aid news, Sweden has delivered its 20th military aid package to Ukraine, valued at $836 million, which includes 18 Archer howitzers, bringing Ukraine's total to 44, along with other military equipment. Separately, the European Union's General Court annulled the European Commission's approval for Hungary's Rosatom-built Paks II nuclear power plant project on September 11, 2025, citing a failure to justify bypassing EU procurement rules.
