The Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Russia’s newly-appointed Ambassador to Belgium Denis Gonchar and the charge d’affaires ad interim over a recent drone incident in Poland.

Axar.az informs, citing TASS, at the meeting, the Belgian authorities complained about what they called a "deliberate violation" of the airspace of an EU member state which they described as "another major escalation by Russia targeting the EU and NATO."

In the early hours of September 10, the Polish army reported downing several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that had invaded the country’s airspace. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that 19 UAVs had violated the country’s air borders, flying from Belarus, on the night of September 9-10.
