Poland says up to four of 19 Russian drones shot down after entering airspace

Poland's prime minister says 19 Russian drones entered the country's airspace overnight during strikes on western Ukraine, BBC reports.

Up to four drones were shot down by Polish and Nato aircraft, Donald Tusk says, marking the first time Russian drones have been downed over Poland

A military operation has ended and most airports have reopened.

A Russian diplomat in Poland rejects claims drones entered Polish airspace as "groundless", state media reports.

The drones that entered Poland were part of the latest major aerial attack on Ukraine, where Russia launched 415 drones overnight.

Ukraine's President Zelensky says "at least eight strike drones" were aimed towards Poland, calling the escalation an "extremely dangerous precedent for Europe."
