The Polish military said on Sept. 9 that it had shot down an unspecified number of “drone-type objects” that had breached its airspace during a Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine.

“As a result of an attack by the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territory, there was an unprecedented violation of Polish airspace by drone-type objects,” the military stated on X.  “This is an act of aggression that posed a real threat to the safety of our citizens.”
