Russian drones shot down in Polish airspace, a potential major provocation for Europe

# Poland’s military says it shot down drones that violated its airspace during a Russian attack on Ukraine today. This marks the first time the country has directly engaged Russian assets in its airspace since the Ukraine war started in 2022. Earlier this week, Moscow launched its biggest-ever air assault on Kyiv, with more than 800 drones. A government building was targeted. The Polish army says this is an act of aggression that poses a real threat to the safety of citizens.
