Russia fires drones into Poland days after Trump meeting with NATO ally
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Just one week after President Donald Trump met with Polish President Karol Nawrocki at the White House Russia fired some two dozen drones into the NATO nation on Wednesday.
The assault prompted NATO allies to militarily respond to the apparent Russian attack, and for the first time brought Poland to the closest it has been to open conflict since World War II.

NATO WARNS RUSSIA AFTER POLAND SHOOTS DOWN ‘HUGE NUMBER’ OF DRONES THAT VIOLATED ITS AIRSPACE
The Kremlin on Wednesday claimed there is “no evidence” that the drones were of “Russian origin” after Andrei Ordash, Moscow’s chief diplomat in Poland who was summoned by Warsaw, told Russian state-owned media outlet RIA, “We see the accusations as groundless.”
“We know one thing – these drones were flying from the direction of Ukraine,” he added, according to a translation by a DW report.
Ordash’s comments contradicted assessments by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who said that “at least two Russian drones that entered Polish territory during the night used Belarusian airspace.
“In total, at least several dozen Russian drones were moving along the Ukraine-Belarus border and in the western regions of Ukraine, approaching targets in Ukraine and, apparently, Poland,” he added.

Neither NATO, the White House nor Poland’s defense ministry immediately responded to questions by Fox News Digital on whether drones that reportedly entered Polish airspace did so intentionally.
However, a White House official told Fox News Digital that “President Trump and the White House are tracking the reports out of Poland, and there are plans for President Trump to speak with the President Nawrocki today.”
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told parliament on Wednesday that at least 19 Russian drones entered Poland’s airspace and eight crash sites were confirmed where they appear to have been shot down by NATO forces, though information on the exact figures is still being collected, reported the Associated Press.

POLAND SHOOTS DOWN DRONES IN ITS AIRSPACE DURING RUSSIAN ATTACK ON NEIGHBORING UKRAINE
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said in a statement on Wednesday that “A full assessment of the incident is ongoing.”
“What is clear is that the violation last night is not an isolated incident,” he added in reference to similar situations in which Russian drones have increasingly crossed NATO borders in recent months.
Tusk called the incident “a large-scale provocation” and said “the situation is serious, and no-one doubts that we must prepare for various scenarios.”
Rutte said NATO leaders held a meeting this morning after Poland enacted Article 4, which triggers urgent talks “whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence, or security of any of the Parties is threatened.”
Rutte confirmed that the overnight drone attack not only scrambled Polish warplanes, but also Dutch F-35s, Italian Airborne Warning and Control Systems, NATO Multi Role Tanker Transport system for air-to-air refueling, and German Patriots were “activated” and “successfully ensured the defense of NATO territory.”

“This is the first time NATO planes have engaged potential threats in Allied airspace,” spokesperson for the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers, U.S. Army Col. Martin L. O’Donnell, said Wednesday. “NATO, Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, and all of Allied Command Operations is committed to defending every kilometre of NATO territory, including our airspace.”

Poland Says It Shot Down Russian Drones Over Its Airspace
Russian drones entered Poland’s airspace during an attack on targets across the border in Ukraine, in what the Polish military called an “act of aggression.” It was not clear exactly how many drones had crossed into Poland.

“Putin’s message is clear. And our response must be clear, too. We need more pressure on Russia to come to the negotiation table. We need more sanctions.”
The 1965 conviction imposed a longer sentence on Choi Mal-ja than the then 19-year-old’s attacker was handed.
Published On 10 Sep 2025
A South Korean court has acquitted a woman previously convicted for defending herself against an act of sexual violence six decades ago.
Busan’s District Court overturned the previous ruling on Wednesday, saying Choi Mal-ja’s actions “constitute justifiable self-defence” under South Korean law.

Choi’s actions at the time are now “deemed an attempt to escape an unjust infringement on her bodily integrity and sexual self-determination”, the court said in a statement.
The ruling overturns Choi’s 1965 conviction, when the court found her actions had “exceeded the reasonable bounds of legally permissible self-defence”.
Choi, who was 19 at the time of the incident, was attacked by a 21-year-old man in the southern town of Gimhae in 1964.
The man pinned her to the ground and repeatedly forced his tongue into her mouth, at one point blocking her nose to stop her from breathing, according to court records.
Choi managed to break free by biting off about 1.5cm (0.6 inches) of his tongue.
In one of South Korea’s most contentious rulings on sexual violence, the aggressor received only six months in prison, suspended for two years, for trespassing and intimidation – but not attempted rape.
But Choi, now 79, was convicted of causing grievous bodily harm and handed a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.
Wearing a bright pink blazer, Choi beamed as supporters handed her multiple bouquets after the new ruling.
Women’s rights activists and her supporters celebrated, many visibly emotional, waving a placard that read, “Choi Mal-ja did it!”
“Sixty-one years ago, in a situation where I could understand nothing, the victim became the perpetrator, and my fate was sealed as a criminal,” Choi said in a news conference following the ruling.
“For the victims who shared the same fate as mine, I wanted to be a source of hope for them,” she said.
The Korea Women’s Hotline (KWH), one of the groups that supported Choi during the trial, said the verdict will pave the way for other victims of sexual violence seeking justice.
“Going forward, women’s defensive acts will be understood as legitimate. I expect this will mean fewer women will face unjust suffering,” says Song Ran-hee, head of the KWH.
Choi’s appeal gained momentum after the #MeToo movement, which took off globally in 2017, inspired her to seek justice.
In South Korea, huge women’s rights protests have led to victories on issues ranging from abortion access to tougher penalties for spycam crimes.
Choi filed for a retrial in 2020, but lower courts initially rejected her petition.
After years of campaigning and an appeal, South Korea’s top court finally ordered a retrial in 2024.
Her lawyers said they now plan to seek compensation from the state for the damages she suffered from her conviction six decades ago.
South Korea has seen at least two other cases of women biting off the tongues of sexual assailants: One in Andong in 1988 and another in Busan in 2020. In both instances, courts ruled the actions were legitimate acts of self-defence, and the women were acquitted.
Two days after her four big wins at the 2025 MTV VMAs, Lady Gaga has announced a second North American leg of her “Mayhem Ball” tour. The new dates, which follow jaunts in Europe, Australia and Japan, launch on Valentine’s Day, 2026 (February 14), with two nights at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, AZ, and continue across the continent, with return engagements at New York’s Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ Forum.
Variety‘s Chris Willman called the show “the quintessential large-scale tour of the year (or at least go down as caught up in a tie with Beyonce’s),” adding that “Gaga is in the best, most enviable position she’s ever been in — doing stuff that rates with the things fans consider their favorites, and completely avoiding the schadenfreude that ought to be afflicting anyone 17 years into her superstardom.”
Produced by Gaga and Michael Polansky, the tour features direction by Ben Dalgleish (Human Person), creative direction by Gaga, Polansky, Goebel and Human Person, choreography by Goebel, and costumes styled by Hunter Clem, Gaga’s sister Natali Germanotta (Topo Studio) and Hardstyle.
Last week the singer released a new song and video called “The Dead Dance,” featured in the Netflix series “Wednesday,” with a video directed by the show’s Tim Burton.
