DEVELOPING: NATO Boosts Defences After Russian Drones Downed Over Poland

Breaking News: NATO Boosts Defences After Russian Drones Downed Over Poland Three Russian drones were shot down over Polish airspace early Wednesday morning, prompting an unprecedented response from NATO. Poland's Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed the incident, stating that several drones crossed into Polish territory and were intercepted by military forces. The minister also reported damage to a house in eastern Poland, caused by debris from one of the downed drones. NATO has swiftly responded to the incursion, with several member countries sending troops, artillery, and air defence systems to secure its eastern flank. The Netherlands and Czech Republic have pledged to send defences to Poland, while Lithuania will receive a German brigade and enhanced warning systems for potential Russian attacks on Ukraine that could cross over. Germany has also announced plans to "intensify its engagement along NATO's eastern border" and extend air policing over Poland. This move is seen as a significant escalation of military presence in the region. The incident has raised concerns about Russia's intentions and sparked calls for increased security measures within NATO. The Polish government has requested a UN Security Council session, which will take place on Friday at 19:00 GMT.
