NATO jets hunt Russian drones in Poland as Moscow’s GPS jamming threatens Baltic skies

Polish and allied aircraft were scrambled early Sunday – the second time in a week – in what the Polish Armed Forces Operational Command called a precautionary measure after Russia’s airstrikes on Ukraine, near the Polish border.

“Polish and allied aircraft are operating in our airspace, while ground-based air defence and radar reconnaissance systems have been brought to the highest state of readiness,” the command said on X.

As US and EU attempts to end the bloodshed in Ukraine stall, Russia appears to have escalated its attacks on Ukraine, Turkish news agency Anadolu writes. Eight people were injured in an overnight assault, Ukrainian officials said.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk condemned the assault on Kyiv, calling it “a sign that further hesitation and attempts to appease (Russian President) Vladimir Putin are futile.” He called on the “US and European nations to compel Russia to agree to an immediate ceasefire.”
