Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk held a special meeting on 13 September 2026 after recent Russian drone strikes near the Polish border, including a drone strike on a lorry and a Russian missile strike on a train locomotive near Poland. Poland confirmed no airspace violation occurred.
Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk convened a special meeting at the Government Centre for Security on 13 September 2026 at 17:00 UTC to discuss recent Russian attacks near the Polish border. The meeting included ministers and officials responsible for special services. Recent Russian attacks involved drone strikes near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing, including an incident where a drone struck a lorry near the crossing. Ukrainian Railways reported that a Russian strike hit the locomotive of a passenger train near the Polish border, though Poland’s Defence Minister stated there was no violation of Polish airspace. Polish Armed Forces and Border Guard officials confirmed the threat was real, with no casualties reported on the Polish side and border crossings remaining intact. The incident followed a night of Russian attacks on Ukrainian regions near Poland, contributing to heightened security concerns. The information was sourced primarily from Polish news outlet Onet and European Pravda and confirmed by government spokesperson Adam Szlapka.
Confidence: Medium
Concrete reports of Russian drone strikes near the Polish border, including hits on a lorry and a train locomotive, combined with the Polish government's convening of a security meeting indicate hostile aggressor activity and direct cross-border hybrid attacks by Russia on or near NATO territory.
