NATO launches Operation Eastern Guard in response to Russian drone incursions

"NATO has launched an initiative to reinforce the defense of Europe's eastern flank following a Russian drone incursion into Polish airspace this week," NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced on Friday.

Operation "Eastern Guard" will begin in the coming days and will include assets from Denmark, France, the United Kingdom, Germany and others, Rutte said.

"Eastern Sentry will add flexibility and strength to our posture and make it clear that, as a defensive alliance, we are always ready to defend ourselves," he added.

Rutte said Russia's "dangerous and unacceptable" drone incursion on Wednesday "was not an isolated incident."

"Russia's recklessness in the air, along our eastern flank, is increasing in frequency," Rutte said.

NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, US General Alexus Grynkewich, said the operation, which will be "flexible and rapid" and will include enhanced capabilities, integrated air and ground defenses and increased information sharing among NATO partners./ CNA
