Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk is calling for an emergency NATO meeting.

After as many as 19 Russian drones violated the country's airspace overnight. The majority were shut down with Tusk saying the prospect of a large military conflict is, quote, closer now than at any time since the Second World War. Anna Cunningham reports. The Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk says a large number of Russian drones violated Polish airspace, describing it as posing a direct threat. Tusk says this is the first time Russian drones have been shot down over the territory of a NATO country. Polish, NATO and Dutch pilots are understood to have been involved.

Tusk says Poland is most likely dealing with a large-scale provocation. Russian attacks on Ukraine have increased in recent weeks.
