Ms. Dicarlo said the UN had no way of verifying complaints or counters surrounding the incident and could only count on information accessible to the public.
According to Poland, 19 Russian drones entered its airspace overnight on September 9 and 10 during a large -scale missile and the drone assault on Ukraine. Polish authorities have said that some drones had been slaughtered and that debris was then recovered in the country’s central and eastern regions.
The episode marked the first time that NATO allies used strength to neutralize these drones.
Polish authorities have reported temporary airport closings in Warsaw and Rzeszów and air traffic restrictions in the east of the country. Although no victim has been reported, the residential areas of certain villages have suffered damage.
The Russian Defense Ministry acknowledged having made strikes against Ukrainian targets during the same period, but said that it did not intend to arouse objectives in Poland. The Bélarus would have said that certain drones had been deflected by Ukrainian countermeasures and have deflected, adding that he had alerted neighboring countries when drones were approaching their airspace.
