Poland warns Russia is planning drone or rocket strikes on NATO territory

Tusk said intelligence suggests Moscow wants to weaken NATO cohesion by making any strike look accidental, while Poland has seen repeated border incidents.

  • On Thursday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that intelligence indicates Russia plans hybrid drone and missile attacks against countries supporting Ukraine, framing potential strikes as "accidental" to test NATO's resolve.
  • Russian actions against the West increasingly occur in a "grey zone" between peace and war, leaving doubt about responsibility; an explosives-laden drone found at Leipzig/Halle airport in Germany last month exemplifies these provocations.
  • European capitals have updated contingency plans, including the UK's "war book" revised for the first time in decades, while NATO nations modernize protocols to address hybrid threats and cyberattacks.
  • Western intelligence assessments suggest Russia is preparing a "quiet mobilization" of 300,000 troops; however, Latvian security officials urged caution, stating they "don't see indications of an imminent attack" on NATO's eastern flank.
  • Tusk plans to visit Kyiv to discuss air defense cooperation within the Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition, with analysts emphasizing the decisive factor will be the strength of NATO's collective response should escalation occur.
