Russian drones crossed into NATO territory during last Thursday's attack on Kyiv, with Romania reporting one crashed near its border and Poland activating air defences.

The hours-long barrage killed at least sixteen people, with Kyiv's Patriot interceptor stocks running low partly because of the Iran war.
