NATO’s Article 4 invoked over Russian drones in Poland: What to know

Poland reported 19 Russian drone incursions prompting NATO consultations under Article 4, highlighting heightened tensions and regional security concerns along the alliance's eastern border.

  • On September 10, 2025, Poland reported multiple incursions of Russian drones into its airspace and responded by invoking Article 4 of the NATO treaty, leading to coordinated defensive actions among alliance members.
  • The drone incursions followed Russia's extensive aerial assault on Ukraine and increased regional tensions, leading Poland to seek urgent NATO consultations.
  • Poland shut down four airports, scrambled fighter jets from Poland and NATO allies, and confirmed 19 airspace intrusions, many originating from Belarus.
  • NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte characterized the violation as part of a pattern and committed to keeping a careful watch on the situation near NATO's frontiers with Russia and Belarus.
  • Invoking Article 4 triggered diplomatic consultations without obligating military action, signaling heightened concern but not collective defense under Article 5.
