Poland’s military said early Wednesday that it had shot down drones that violated its airspace during a Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine, in what is potentially a major provocation for Europe.

“Weapons have been deployed, and services are actively working to locate the downed objects,” said a statement from Poland’s Operational Command posted on X.

The statement said a military operation was ongoing and urged residents to stay in their homes. Additional information about the “drone-type objects” was not provided.
