Poland accuses Russian military helicopter of violating its airspace

Poland reported a Russian military helicopter violated its airspace, triggering the scrambling of NATO fighter jets. One report indicates the aircraft was in Polish airspace for 42 seconds. However, Reuters reports that Poland subsequently concluded its military air operations and stated no airspace violation occurred. These events coincided with Russian strikes on Ukraine and a fire at a Starlink station, which Polish Digital Affairs Minister Gawkowski labeled as deliberate sabotage linked to Russian hybrid warfare.
