Russian Drone Strikes Near Yahodyn Border Crossing With Poland Again
A Russian jet drone struck on the Ukrainian side of the Dorohusk-Yahodyn crossing on Monday, Sept. 28, prompting an evacuation. Poland put aircraft and air defenses on alert, but its defense minister said Polish airspace was not violated. It was the second strike near Yahodyn this month.
Russian drone strikes near the Yahodyn border crossing with Poland have once again targeted the region, this time on Monday, Sept. 28. The drone was reported to have struck about 2 kilometers from the Polish border, with Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz confirming that the attack did not violate Polish airspace.
Polish officials have evacuated the crossing, known as Dorohusk-Jagodzin in Poland, and have returned the drones to their bases. This is not the first time Russian forces have struck the region, as they had done so on Sept. 13, damaging a gas station, igniting several trucks, and hitting a passenger train carrying Western diplomats.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned that Russia's escalation is becoming a reality and could eventually affect Polish territory, emphasizing the need for joint responses with NATO allies.
