Russian drones sent into Polish airspace were reportedly heading to a NATO base used to supply Ukraine, it has been revealed.
Poland's military was forced to shoot down drones in its airspace with the backing of military aircraft from NATO allies, the first time a member of the Western military alliance is known to have fired shots during Russia's war in Ukraine.
Drones crashed into several civilian homes as well as a military base for Poland’s Territorial Defence Forces.
Die Welt, a German newspaper, reported that five of the drones were on a direct flight path to a NATO base used to deliver supplies to Ukraine.
A high-ranking NATO officer told the paper: 'Based on current information, we assume that the drones most likely intentionally entered NATO airspace'.
