• Authorities recorded no casualties, though limited damage was reported and Poland imposed emergency measures including temporary airport closures and expedited call-ups in eastern regions.
• Allied surveillance and air-defense assets supported the response, including an Italian Gulfstream G550 CAEW mission from Estonia confirmed by Defense Minister Guido Crosetto.
• NATO ambassadors reviewed Poland’s briefing under Article 4 and requested further details, with several allies seeing a likely provocation but no alliance-wide conclusion on premeditated intent.
