Poland warns of 'real' threat after Russian drones strike Ukraine near its border

Poland has labeled the recent Russian drone strikes near its border with Ukraine as a serious threat, according to Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski. Russia launched drones overnight, targeting a gas station near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing and a passenger train just 2 kilometers from Poland's border. Kierwinski confirmed the sequence of events, stating that Russia initiated the attack near the Dorohusk-Yahodyn crossing before striking the train near Poland's border.

The Polish government is closely monitoring the situation and considers Russia as an enemy of the free world. The attacks brought the conflict uncomfortably close to Poland's border, with multiple strikes reported in Ukraine's Volyn Oblast, near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk crossing. Polish Armed Forces Operational Command spokesperson Jacek Goryszewski emphasized the real threat, noting that drones were operating and striking targets very close to the Polish border.

The incident also stranded Estonian officials at the border crossing. Russian attacks are intensifying and drawing nearer to NATO and the EU, according to Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna. He urged a more intense response to counter the threats. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemned the attack, warning that it brought Russia's war directly to the EU and NATO's doorstep, labeling it as Putin's terror.
