Poland Invokes NATO Article 4 After Russian Drone Incursions
Poland has officially invoked NATO’s Article 4, citing threats to its territorial integrity after multiple Russian drones reportedly violated Polish airspace.
The move triggers urgent consultations among NATO members, marking one of the most serious escalations since the war in Ukraine began. Article 4 allows any member state to call for alliance-wide discussions when it feels its security or sovereignty is under direct threat.
Polish officials say the repeated drone intrusions represent a dangerous breach of national security and warned that continued violations could provoke stronger defensive measures.
NATO leaders are expected to convene immediately to assess the situation and decide on next steps.
