Drone footage shows moment Russian ship is attacked
Russia has pledged to reinforce western borders following reinforcement from Nato, with the ramped-up security arriving after a surge in drone attacks on Moscow.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said NATO-member Poland had already announced plans to strengthen its military, and he expected significant NATO forces and weaponry to be deployed in Finland.
On Wednesday, Russia claimed it shot down two Ukrainian drones headed for Moscow, one near a major airport to the south of the city and one to the west of the capital.
Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said whilst one drone was shot down near Domodedovo, where one of Russia’s biggest international airports is located. Another was downed near the Minsk motorway.
Kyiv has never claimed responsibility for attacks inside Russian territory, but the Russian defence ministry dubbed the incident a “terrorist attack.”
Meanwhile, Poland has confirmed it will send 2.000 troops to its frontier with Belarus, twice the number requested by the Border Guard, to stem illegal crossings and maintain stability.
Poland has worried increasingly about the border area since hundreds of battle-hardened Wagner mercenaries arrived in Belarus last month at the invitation of President Alexander Lukashenko.
