It comes as Moscow continues to barrage Ukraine with relentless drone strikes.
Poland, a member of the NATO alliance, shares a border with Ukraine and has been one of Kyiv’s key international backers.
Warsaw’s operational command shared the tense news in a post on X.
“Polish and allied aircraft are operating in our airspace, while ground-based air defence and radar reconnaissance systems have been brought to the highest state of readiness,” they said.
The Ukrainian Air Force earlier said on Telegram that Russian drones were tearing towards the city of Zamosc.
It is not clear how many drone entered Polish airspace.
This comes after a Russian air killed at least 24 people and injured 19 others in the Donetsk region.
A glide bomb struck the village of Yarova, which was home to around 1,700 people before the war.
Valium Filashkin, head of Donetsk Military Administration, said: “This is not military action – this is pure terrorism.”
Vladimir Putin’s forces continue to wreak devastation across Ukraine as Moscow’s brutal full-scale invasion grinds on.
On Sunday, Russia unleashed a vicious barrage against Ukraine that killed four people.
A two-month old baby was among the victims of the barbaric strikes.
Poland is a member state of NATO, giving it protections under the Article 5 mutual defence agreement.
This means that an attack on one member state is deemed an attack on all, obliging countries including the US, the UK and France to come to their aid if the clause is invoked.
