Polish authorities reported recovering debris from 17 Russian-made drones that crashed in the eastern part of the country on Wednesday, causing no injuries or significant damage.

The incursion occurred just a day after Poland's newly elected President, Karol Nawrocki, warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin was prepared to invade additional countries following his aggression on Ukraine. Poland’s army had described the incursion as a violation of the nation’s airspace and an "act of aggression.”
After the incident, Poland asked its allies for additional air defence systems and counter-drone technology to support the country and protect it against further Russian incursions.
