• NATO said its aircraft engaged potential threats in allied airspace for the first time in the war, as Polish F-16s, Dutch F-35s, Italian AWACS and a NATO tanker supported the operation with Patriot batteries on alert.
• Parts of Polish airspace and several airports, including Warsaw Chopin and Rzeszów, were temporarily closed while residents in three eastern regions were told to stay indoors.
• Debris was located at multiple sites and tore the roof off a house in Wyryki in the Lublin region, with authorities reporting no injuries as searches and damage assessments continue.
• Russia denied intending to strike Poland and Belarus said drones went off course after jamming, while European leaders labeled the incursion a deliberate escalation and pledged support for Warsaw.
