Poland Air Defense Response to Russian Strikes on Ukraine

Poland scrambled fighter jets and issued RCB alerts to civilians in response to overnight Russian drone and missile strikes on Ukraine. This response, confirmed by multiple Polish sources and NATO aviation alerts, indicates heightened regional tension and direct security spillover into NATO's eastern flank. The proximity of a Russian drone strike to the Polish border (800m) raises escalation concerns.
