Germany describes drone attack on Poland as highly dangerous

BERLIN, Sept 10 (KUNA) -- Germany on Wednesday expressed full solidarity with Poland following drone attacks on Polish territory, describing the incident as highly dangerous, and a serious cause for regional and European concern.
Deputy Government Spokesman Sebastian Hille told a press conference in Berlin that Germany is coordinating closely with Polish partners in response to the incident and monitoring the situation with heightened urgency.
He noted the drone activity serves as evidence of the scale of threats Europe faces, suggesting Russia may be attempting to test the European Union's unity and the resilience of NATO member states.
Hille also voiced understanding for Poland's request to hold consultations within NATO, describing the move as justified and appropriate in view of the security implications for the alliance.
Earlier, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that Warsaw had intercepted at least three Russian drones and recorded no fewer than 19 airspace violations in recent days.
Speaking before the Polish parliament, Tusk emphasized that Poland, a member of both NATO and the European Union, views the situation with utmost seriousness despite no reports of casualties or injuries so far. (end) anj.tma.aai
