NATO kicks off military drill in response to 'Russian violations'

SUMMARY

NATO will begin a military drill called "Eastern Sentry" in response to Poland's claims of Russian drones violating its airspace. The exercise aims to enhance NATO's eastern defense posture, despite Moscow dismissing these allegations as baseless and accusing NATO of fearmongering. Secretary-General Mark Rutte indicated that the drill would start soon, involving contributions from Denmark, France, and Germany.

Polish authorities reported 19 airspace violations and some drone damage on the ground, but no casualties. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that Russia has not threatened anyone and accused NATO of escalating tensions.
