It was an ominous series of milestones today for the world's largest military alliance.

For the first time in NATO history, Alliance airplanes engaged enemy targets in allied airspace.

And for the first time since Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine, NATO opened fire on Russian drones.

Nick Schifrin speaks to the foreign minister of NATO member Poland, where the attack took place and reports on a day that rattled the alliance.

In eastern Poland today, the aftermath of a Russian attack, a house destroyed by a shot down Russian drone, its remnants a reminder of how the war in Ukraine can escalate.

Polish officials say 19 drones crossed into Poland on the alliance's eastern flank, fired

not only from Russia, but also from Belarus.

European officials tell PBS NewsHour the drones flew as far as 300 miles into Poland, and the attack lasted

seven hours.

It comes at a precarious moment for Ukraine.

Russia continues to achieve small territorial gains, but at enormous cost to its soldiers.

President Trump is vowing to impose economic pressure on Russia, but wants it coordinated

with Europe.

Today, President Trump posted, what's with Russia violating Poland's airspace with drones?

Here we go.

And today, Europe says it needs better defenses from those Russian drones, including its own wall of drones on its eastern flank.

Earlier today, I spoke to Poland's foreign minister, Rodik Sikorsky.

seems to be a larger scale and deeper into Poland.

So how significant is this?
