Russia's defence ministry said on Wednesday that its drones had carried out a major attack on military facilities in western Ukraine but that it had not planned to hit any targets in Poland.
The ministry said its forces had achieved all its targets in the attack, and pointed out that the Russian drones "which allegedly crossed the border with Poland" had a range of not more than 700 km (434 miles).
"Nevertheless, we are prepared to hold consultations with the Polish Defence Ministry on this topic," it said.
At least three Russian drones were shot down by Nato and Polish aircraft in Poland's airspace during overnight attacks on Ukraine, the Polish prime minister has said.
