Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Friday that Poland's intelligence services have identified a Russian plan to carry out drone strikes on Poland and other allied countries, according to Euronews. The Independent reports that Warsaw has accused Vladimir Putin of preparing to launch a drone or missile attack on a NATO member.
Poland shut its airports and scrambled fighter jets in response to the Russian drone threat, The Telegraph reports. Tusk described the expected actions as hybrid strikes directed at nations that support Ukraine, according to The Guardian.
The warnings come amid a series of what The Washington Post describes as daring Russian plots, which the paper says are testing Washington's restraint. The Guardian's coverage frames the Polish assessment as part of its live reporting on the war in Ukraine.
The reports do not specify which NATO country or countries were named in the intelligence, nor when any attack might take place. No further operational details have been released by Polish officials in the material cited here.
What to watch next: whether Poland or its allies publish further details of the alleged plan, and how NATO responds to the intelligence assessment.
