Poland quickly reinforced its air and ground defenses early Wednesday after Russian drones entered its airspace during an attack on a bordering region of Ukraine. 

The country’s operational command of the Armed Forces confirmed that its “airspace was repeatedly violated by drone-type objects” during Russian airstrikes on Ukraine.

“An operation is underway aimed at identifying and neutralizing the objects,” the command said in a statement on X. “On the orders of the Operational Commander of the Polish Armed Forces, weapons have been deployed, and services are actively working to locate the downed objects.”

“Polish and allied aircraft are operating in our airspace, while ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems have been brought to the highest state of readiness,” the agency added.

The move is preventive and aimed at protecting Polish citizens near the Ukrainian border after Russia launched an airstrike on Ukraine’s western regions that flank the NATO member, officials said.

Authorities warned residents of Podlaskie, Mazowieckie, and Lubelskie to remain indoors as the operation is ongoing.

Earlier, the Ukrainian military had warned on Telegram that drones were heading west, threatening the Polish city of Zamosc. The air force has since removed the worrisome alert from the messaging app. 

While Ukrainian media reported at least one Russian drone was heading toward the Polish city of Rzeszow, officials from either country have not confirmed any strikes.

Two US officials, however, took to social media blasting Russia for “attacking” Poland.

“Russia is attacking NATO ally Poland with Iranian shahid drones less than a week after President Trump hosted President Nawrocki at the White House,” South Carolina GOP Rep. Joe Wilson posted on X just before 8:30 p.m. 

“This is an act of war, and we are grateful to NATO allies for their swift response to war criminal Putin’s continued unprovoked aggression against free and productive nations. I urge President Trump to respond with mandatory sanctions that will bankrupt the Russian war machine and arm Ukraine with weapons capable of striking Russia.”

Sen. Dick Durban also took aim at Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin for repeatedly violating NATO airspace and “testing our resolve to protect Poland and the Baltic nations.”

“After the carnage Putin continues to visit on Ukraine, these incursions cannot be ignored,” the Democrat posted on X.

The Pentagon, White House and NATO did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. 

Russia launched its largest attack of the war over the weekend, sending 810 drones and decoys and 13 missiles across the board into Ukraine. 

Four civilians were killed, including a mother and her 2-month-old baby, said Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.

The attack was followed up by another mass bombardment on Monday, with one of the airstrikes killing at least 24 people who were waiting in line to collect their monthly pensions in eastern Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Ukraine is now at risk of falling short of air defense weapons after US military aid slowed down in the summer as Moscow’s deadly attacks escalated with a record number of airstrikes. 

Kyiv has been struggling to intercept the hundreds of drones and missiles fired by Moscow on a daily basis, with western analysts warning that if Russia maintains the rate of its latest attacks, then Kyiv’s defenses may crumble.

“It’s a question of time for when munitions run out,” one source familiar with the US deliveries to Ukraine told the Financial Times.
