Poland condemned Russia after a Russian Mi-8 helicopter briefly entered its airspace, penetrating 300 meters for 42 seconds near Braniewo. The incident follows a pattern of incursions from Kaliningrad. Poland's Defense Ministry reported the helicopter came from Kaliningrad. This incident is part of a recurring pattern, including a similar violation in April 2025, which Polish forces called a deliberate test of air defense readiness. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned Russia may attack NATO's eastern flank with drones or missiles, calling such actions accidents. He stated the goal is to make collective defense seem theoretical.
