Today, Polish airspace was violated by 12 Geran-2 suicide drones, which reportedly penetrated between 20 to 50 kilometers into Polish territory. This incursion raises significant concerns amid ongoing tensions related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The drones were tracked entering Polish airspace early in the morning, prompting immediate scrutiny from Polish military officials. The Geran-2 drones, utilized by Russian forces, have been linked to recent attacks on critical infrastructure in Ukraine, including a notable incident where a Russian drone targeted Rzeszow, a key supply route for Ukraine.

This drone incursion follows a broader pattern of escalating military activities in the region. Earlier this month, a Russian drone was reported to have entered Belarus and was heading toward the Warsaw region, highlighting the increasing proximity of military operations to NATO member states. Such incidents are raising alarms about the potential for direct conflict.
In response to today"s events, Polish authorities are expected to enhance air surveillance and may consider bolstering their military readiness. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are anticipated as NATO allies assess the implications of these drone incursions.
