Poland pledges to strengthen security after drone strikes along border with Ukraine

WARSAW, Poland — Poland has vowed to bolster security measures along its shared border with Ukraine following a series of Russian drone attacks close to the national boundary. Notably, two of these strikes landed within a few kilometers of Polish territory. This decision came on the heels of a warning from Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who spoke of Moscow's potential for a further intensification of its operations targeting the borders of Ukraine and various European nations.

Ukraine is facing growing concerns as Russia escalates its air campaign, employing a combination of ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones to breach defensive structures. Tusk made these remarks in a governmental security briefing held in Warsaw on Sunday, echoing a similar caution just a day earlier on Thursday. Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz provided additional details on Monday, informing via a post on X that Polish forces had recovered what was believed to be a Russian military drone from the Baltic Sea near the village of Jaroslawiec. Intelligence reports, including a briefing from the CIA, support these assertions.
