Poland Responds to Russian Drone Incursion, Invoking NATO Article 4
Amid rising tensions in Europe, Poland has invoked Article 4 of the NATO treaty following a series of incursions by Russian drones into its airspace. The situation escalated after Poland successfully shot down multiple drones returning from attacks in Ukraine. In response, NATO officials convened for emergency consultations, signaling a renewed commitment to defending member states. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has emphasized the need for military modernization, citing the incident as a wake-up call about regional security. As NATO allies discuss a coordinated response, concerns mount that this invasion could be the closest encounter with war since WWII. Meanwhile, international leaders, including Donald Trump, have reacted to the escalating situation, highlighting the precarious balance of power in Eastern Europe.
