BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NATO on Friday launched an operation named Eastern Sentry to bolster the defence of Europe's eastern flank in response to Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace earlier this week, Secretary-General Mark Rutte said.
"We must, as NATO, make clear our resolve and our ability to defend our territory, and that is exactly what Eastern Sentry is designed to do," Rutte told a press conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels.
