US EditionUN Security Council to meet over violation of Polish airspace, Poland says
- On the night of September 9 to 10, 2025, Poland and its NATO allies shot down multiple Russian drones that violated Polish airspace near the Belarus and Ukraine borders.
- The incident followed Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine since 2022 and led Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk to activate Article 4 of NATO's treaty to seek consultations and support.
- Polish fighter jets, alongside Dutch stealth aircraft, Italian airborne surveillance planes, German Patriot missile defenses, and NATO tanker aircraft, worked together to counter the drones, while Poland enforced flight restrictions along its eastern borders through December 9, 2025.
- Tusk described the event as a "large-scale provocation" involving 19 initial violations, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed great concern about damage to Polish residential areas caused by the incursions.
- The breach sparked emergency meetings in the UN Security Council and European Parliament and intensified Poland's calls for enhanced NATO air defenses, emphasizing collective security against further Russian aggression.
