Russian drone strikes near Ukrainian-Polish border, Poland scrambles jets and shuts two airports
A Russian jet-powered Shahed-type drone struck near the Yahodyn international border crossing in Volyn Oblast on 28 September, damaging the checkpoint's entry-terminal building from the shockwave. Poland scrambled military aviation, placed air-defence and radar systems on readiness, and suspended operations at Rzeszów and Lublin airports. No casualties were reported and Polish authorities said Polish airspace was not violated.
