Overview
- Romania reported a separate incursion, saying two F-16s tracked a low‑flying drone for about 50 minutes near Chilia Veche and later summoned Russia’s ambassador over the breach.
- NATO leaders say the operation will integrate air and ground defenses and accelerate information‑sharing across the eastern flank, building on lessons from Baltic Sentry.
- Allies are moving assets into place, including two Danish F-16s and an anti‑air warfare frigate, three French Rafales already flying, four German Eurofighters, and three Czech Mi‑171S helicopters now in Poland.
- Poland invoked Article 4 after roughly 19 reported incursions, authorized allied forces on its territory for Eastern Sentry, and continues to recover and analyze drone wreckage.
- Moscow disputes deliberate responsibility as forensic work continues; Western officials say NATO fighters shot down multiple drones over Poland during the incident.
