Then, as Ukrainians took to shelters underground, the online channels that they watched began reporting several of those drones crossing into Poland. They began writing in Polish, warning people there to take cover. “Chelm – to the shelters!”, “Zamosc – into the shelters!” This feels like an escalation by Moscow - testing the West’s response. Because it appears its drones didn’t just stray into Poland. They went deep enough for even Warsaw airport to be closed. And it’s happening as the aerial attacks on Ukraine have become far bigger - and more frequent. Then last weekend, a Russian missile hit the main government building here. Before that, the EU and British Council buildings in Kyiv were damaged. Russian drones have crossed Ukraine’s western border before. A Russian missile even landed in a forest once, but didn’t detonate. In 2022, two villagers were killed close to the border, apparently after Ukrainian air defence downed a missile. So the Polish air force now scrambles, whenever the threat gets close. But they’ve never shot anything down before. So this is new territory for Poland – and for Nato.

Earlier this week saw the biggest-ever air assault on Ukraine, with more than 800 drones. A government building was targeted. Now, drones have been flown to the far west of Ukraine - not the first time this part of the country has been hit, but the frequency is increasing. Just a few weeks ago when I was in Ukraine, Polish fighter jets were scrambled because of drones close to the border. Now Warsaw's airport has been shut, it's a clear sign of the escalation and the panic as Iranian-made Shahed drones infringe on Polish airspace.

They began writing in Polish, warning people there to take cover. “Chelm – to the shelters!”, “Zamosc – into the shelters!” This feels like an escalation by Moscow - testing the West’s response. Because it appears its drones didn’t just stray into Poland. They went deep enough for even Warsaw airport to be closed. And it’s happening as the aerial attacks on Ukraine have become far bigger - and more frequent. Then last weekend, a Russian missile hit the main government building here. Before that, the EU and British Council buildings in Kyiv were damaged. Russian drones have crossed Ukraine’s western border before. A Russian missile even landed in a forest once, but didn’t detonate. In 2022, two villagers were killed close to the border, apparently after Ukrainian air defence downed a missile. So the Polish air force now scrambles, whenever the threat gets close. But they’ve never shot anything down before. So this is new territory for Poland – and for Nato.

"As a result of the attack by the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territory, there was an unprecedented violation of Polish airspace by drone-type objects," it says.In a post on X, the command says drones that entered Polish airspace "posed a real threat" to the safety of Polish citizens.

ShareProspect of peace feels far away as Russia intensifies air assaultspublished at 03:44 BST 10 September03:44 BST 10 Septemberpublished at 10:44 10 September10:44 10 SeptemberKaty Watson Every night, Ukrainians brace themselves for air attacks from Russian drones and missiles. Some nights are worse than others - but Ukraine never escapes the aggression. The air raid sirens that ring out across cities are the soundtrack to most Ukrainians’ lives now.And every morning, the Ukrainian military release the numbers – how many drones and missiles attacked, where they hit – and who got hurt. It’s a familiar pattern but the air assaults are getting more brazen. Earlier this week saw the biggest-ever air assault on Ukraine, with more than 800 drones. A government building was targeted. Image source, ReutersNow, drones have been flown to the far west of Ukraine - not the first time this part of the country has been hit, but the frequency is increasing. Just a few weeks ago when I was in Ukraine, Polish fighter jets were scrambled because of drones close to the border. Now Warsaw's airport has been shut, it's a clear sign of the escalation and the panic as Iranian-made Shahed drones infringe on Polish airspace.
