Asked 3 hours ago

Answer

Russia has breached NATO airspace with drones in Poland and Romania, prompting NATO to strengthen its eastern defenses. While these incursions are seen as provocative and dangerous, there is no evidence of a full-scale Russian attack on NATO. Russia claims the drone incidents were not intentional, while NATO and allies view them as deliberate tests of their response.
