Polish armed forces say Russian objects have been 'downed', marking the first time the Nato country has directly engaged Russian assets in its airspace since the Ukraine war started in 2022
Polish and Nato aircraft were deployed, with authorities saying they began operations in Polish airspace early on Wednesday morning
The country's prime minister, Donald Tusk, is at the scene of the operations, defence officials say. Tusk previously tweeted that an operation "related to multiple violations of Polish airspace" was under way
Poland also shut down four airports as reports of the objects first emerged
