Poland has rejected claims that an incursion into its airspace by Russian drones might have been accidental with a Polish Defence minister saying "there can be no mistake with such a large-scale attack on Poland".
"I think this is a message that should reach President Trump today: there's no question of a mistake - this was a deliberate Russian attack," deputy defence minister Cezary Tomczyk told local TV broadcaster Polsat News.

"On the night that 19 Russian drones crossed into Poland, 400 (drones) plus 40 missiles crossed into Ukraine. These were not mistakes," he said in a video posted on X.
