Breaking: Russian Drones Shot Down Over Poland, NATO Scrambles Response

Russian drones violated Polish airspace overnight, prompting an unprecedented NATO response that saw allied fighters shoot down at least 19 unmanned aircraft. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, marks the first time in NATO’s history that its forces have engaged potential targets within allied territory.

President Donald Trump reacted swiftly to the incursion, stating on his social media platform, “What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones? Here we go!” He is reportedly scheduled to speak with Polish President Karol Nawrocki today to discuss the escalating situation.

The Polish Prime Minister confirmed the extent of the violation, leading to two Polish F-16s and two Dutch F-35s being deployed to intercept and neutralize the threat. Col. Martin L. O’Donnell, a spokesperson for Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, emphasized the historical significance of the engagement.

The U.S. Ambassador to NATO, Matthew Whitaker, reiterated strong alliance support, posting on X: “We stand by our NATO Allies in the face of these airspace violations and will defend every inch of NATO territory.” However, Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski offered a more critical take on President Trump’s broader peace efforts, suggesting Russian President Vladimir Putin “laughs” at them and urged Trump to back words with action.

This developing situation continues to unfold as international leaders assess the implications of Russia’s latest aggressive action on NATO’s eastern flank.
