Poland said it scrambled its own and NATO air defenses to shoot down drones on Wednesday after a Russian air attack on western Ukraine, the first time in the Ukraine war that Warsaw has engaged assets in its airspace.

Radars tracked more than 10 objects and those that could pose a threat were "neutralized," the command said.
