Poland Tightens Airspace as Massive Russian Barrage Hits Ukraine

Allies say a surge of drone incidents is testing defenses and forcing costly preventive measures.

Overview

  • Poland’s operational command said fighters are airborne and air defenses activated in a preventive posture, with temporary airspace restrictions near Rzeszów and Lublin.
  • Ukraine reported nearly 500 attack drones and more than 40 missiles overnight, including Kinzhal, with at least four people killed in Kyiv and dozens wounded nationwide.
  • Russia said it intercepted 41 Ukrainian drones overnight, and a Russian region earlier reported an oil pumping station halted operations after a drone strike.
  • Denmark and other NATO countries recorded drone sightings and brief airport closures this week, and Copenhagen described the pattern as a hybrid campaign targeting critical infrastructure.
  • Moscow stated it has no intention of attacking NATO countries, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warning of a decisive response to any aggression in remarks at the UN.
