What Happened
A Russian Su-24 crossed into Polish airspace near Gdańsk Bay for one minute and 12 seconds, reaching 6.5 kilometres inside Polish territory. Polish military officials said Russia had acknowledged the violation and attributed it to a fault in the aircraft's navigation system — a rare admission, and one of the few incidents in this log where Moscow conceded the crossing at all.
