Overview
- Polish officials say the Wyryki-Wola home was most likely struck by a missile fired from a Polish aircraft during attempts to down intruding drones, with the investigation ongoing and Prime Minister Donald Tusk assigning overall responsibility to Russia.
- Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz arrived in Kyiv for high-level meetings to draw on Ukraine’s experience, with plans to sign cooperation agreements and conduct joint drone and anti-drone training in Poland.
- On the night of Sept. 9–10, at least 19 Russian drones violated Polish airspace, prompting shootdowns, Poland’s invocation of NATO Article 4, and the alliance’s launch of Operation Eastern Sentry to bolster air defenses on the eastern flank.
- Warsaw authorities deported a 21-year-old Ukrainian and imposed a five-year Schengen ban after an unauthorized drone flew over government sites; a 17-year-old Belarusian was questioned and released, and no espionage links were found.
- A new IBRiS poll found 81.7% of Poles do not believe the incursions were accidental, and Polish commanders confirmed Belarusian military channels warned of incoming UAVs during the incident.
