Poland says it shot down Russian drones that violated its airspace during attack on Ukraine
Poland said a number of Russian drones entered its airspace during an attack on Ukraine early Wednesday and were shot down with the help of NATO allies, a first since Moscow's full-scale invasion of its neighbor.
Leaders across Europe condemned the incident as the latest sign of escalation from the Kremlin, which has rebuffed President Donald Trump's bid to broker peace talks.
Russia labeled the accusations “groundless" and said it did not plan to attack any targets in Poland.
The Russian Defense Ministry said it had attacked the “military-industrial complex of Ukraine” in a "large-scale strike" but that "there were no targets envisioned for destruction on the Polish territory," pointing to the flight range of the drones it said it used against western Ukraine.
