Warsaw: Polish President Karol Nawrocki called on NATO to strengthen deterrence following an incursion of Russian drones into Poland’s airspace. In an interview with Germany’s Bild newspaper, Nawrocki said: “We must do everything to be ready for war, because only that ensures peace.” He added he expected “such attacks on NATO territory” would not happen again and that the alliance would be even better prepared.

According to Qatar News Agency, only three or four drones were shot down, but the president expressed satisfaction that no Polish soldiers or civilians were killed. Nawrocki said he was confident the attack was “directly controlled from Moscow” and a demonstration of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s capabilities.
