The United Nations Security Council will meet on Friday in response to an incursion of Russian drones into Polish airspace.

Over the night of Tuesday into Wednesday, the largest group of Russian drones to date crossed into Poland’s airspace, causing a scrambling of North Atlantic Treaty Organization aircraft to shoot them down. Poland’s defense minister told Parliament on Thursday that the debris of 16 drones had been recovered so far. In response, U.N. Security Council members Slovenia, Denmark, Greece, France, and Britain, all NATO members, called the 15-member body to meet on Friday in response to the episode.
