Recall

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated during an emergency government meeting on Wednesday morning, September 10, 2025, that there are currently no grounds to impose restrictions on citizens due to the violation of airspace by Russian UAVs on the night of September 10.

NATO does not consider the incident with a group of Russian drones over Poland an attack.
