Quote: "An operation related to multiple violations of Polish airspace is underway. The military has used weapons against the objects. I am in constant contact with the president and the defence minister. I have received a direct report from the operational commander."

Previously:

• Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces officially confirmed a violation of the country's airspace and urged people to stay at home until the military operation is over.
• Joe Wilson, Republican congressman and member of the US House Armed Services Committee, stated that Russian attack drones had entered Polish airspace. He stressed that such actions amount to a direct attack on a NATO ally.

Background: 

• At around 01:30 on 10 September, Ukraine's Air Force reported a likely incursion of Russian attack drones into Polish airspace.
• Poland closed several airports because of the likely drone intrusion.
• A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) stated that the airports had been closed "due to unplanned military activity related to ensuring state security".
• Poland's Operational Command reported that not only Polish fighter jets but also allied aircraft had been scrambled. In addition, ground-based air defence forces were put on high alert.
