The UN Security Council announced it would hold an emergency meeting Friday to discuss discuss violations of Poland's airspace, a day after Warsaw accused Moscow of carrying out a drone raid on its territory.
Poland said the incident was not accidental, branding it an "unprecedented" attack on Poland, NATO and the European Union. Moscow denied targeting the country and said there was no evidence the drones were Russian.
Stray Russian drones and missiles have entered the airspace of NATO members including Poland several times since Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but no NATO country has ever attempted to shoot them down.
The incident was "an attempt to test the mechanism of action within NATO and our readiness to respond", Polish President Karol Nawrocki said Thursday du
