19 Russian drones entered Polish airspace. Poland's jets shot down at least three drones. Dutch F-35s and an Italian aircraft helped. Prime Minister Donald Tusk called an emergency meeting. He said Poland is closest to open conflict since World War Two. Tusk wants to invoke Article 4 of the Nato treaty. This allows members to discuss security threats. Some experts think the drones may have had poor guidance. Others believe it was a deliberate act to test Nato's response. The incident happened near Rzeszow airport, a key hub for Ukraine aid. Europe and Nato are watching closely to see how this will affect their resolve against Russia. (Updated 11 Sep 2025, 01:34 IST; source: link)
