Poland sought a consultation of NATO powers after shooting down drones that crossed into its territory during Russia’s latest massive air strike on Ukraine, calling the incursion an “act of aggression.”

Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the airspace violation in the early hours of Wednesday amounted to an intentional provocation from Moscow, forcing the NATO and European Union member state to close its airspace and order citizens in the eastern part of the country to stay indoors.
