A drone reportedly struck about 800 metres from a border crossing with Poland, prompting Warsaw to scramble fighter jets and helicopters.
Russia launched 453 drones against Ukraine in an overnight attack, according to France 24, as Moscow’s reported air campaign against the country intensifies.
One drone struck about 800 metres from a border crossing with Poland, France 24 reported. The available material does not identify the crossing or establish whether the drone entered Polish airspace.
The Polish military responded by scrambling fighter jets and helicopters. The move came amid warnings of possible escalation, but the reporting does not indicate that Poland was directly attacked.
The source material does not state whether there were casualties, damage or interceptions. It also does not confirm the circumstances of the reported strike beyond its proximity to the Polish border.
