Polish and allied aircraft have been activated after Ukraine’s air force warned that Russian drones had entered Polish airspace.

“Polish and allied aircraft are operating in our airspace, while ground-based air defence and radar reconnaissance systems have been brought to the highest state of readiness,” Poland’s operational command said in a post on X.

Earlier, the Ukrainian Air Force said on the Telegram messaging app that drones were heading west and threatening the city of Zamosc in Poland.

It was not immediately clear how many drones were in Poland’s airspace.

Ukrainian media reported that at least one drone was heading towards the western Polish city of Rzeszow.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports.
