Poland scrambles jets on Christmas after detecting Russian reconnaissance aircraft near its airspace
AI Summary
On Christmas, Poland scrambled fighter jets after detecting a Russian reconnaissance aircraft near its airspace over the Baltic Sea; the Russian aircraft was intercepted and escorted out. Polish authorities also detected objects, likely smuggling balloons from Belarus, entering Polish airspace overnight, leading to a temporary closure of airspace over the Podlaskie Voivodeship. These incidents occurred shortly after Polish aircraft were scrambled earlier in the week due to widespread Russian strikes against Ukraine. The Polish response included support from NATO allies. The Ukrainian President reported that Russia launched over 650 drones and 30 missiles targeting Ukraine's energy sector and civilian infrastructure before Christmas, resulting in casualties.
