NATO to bolster eastern front after Russian drone incident

NATO has ramped up defenses on its eastern flank after Russian drones violated Polish airspace. In response, Russia and Belarus began large-scale military exercises—Zapad 2025—testing nuclear-capable missiles. The drills, held every four years, heighten tensions as NATO fears a repeat of past invasions. Poland closed its border with Belarus, and NATO launched Operation Eastern Sentry to reinforce its eastern defenses.
