Russian jet-powered drone hits near Yahodyn, just 1.5 km from Poland, as Warsaw changes air defense rules
Poland plans to allow decisions to engage aerial targets based on radar data.
On 28 September, a Russian drone struck the Yahodyn border crossing, located just 1.5 kilometers from the Polish border. The Ukrainian Border Service and the Polish Armed Forces Operational Command confirmed the incident, with geolocated footage showing the jet-powered Geran-5 drone. No injuries or fatalities were reported, and online videos showed the drone falling in a forest near border infrastructure.
Polish Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk announced on the same day that Poland will change its air security rules, enabling pilots to engage targets based solely on radar data. This comes as Russia systematically targets Ukraine's border crossings to complicate logistics, with attacks increasing over the past month.
