Russia's defence ministry earlier said it did not plan to attack any targets in Poland, reports BBC.
Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk said up to four of 19 Russian drones were shot down by Polish and Nato aircraft.
It marks the first time Russian drones have been downed over the territory of a Nato country.
Tusk also warned that Poland is at its closest to open conflict since World War Two.
Meanwhile, the UK's defence minister said he has asked Britain's armed forces to "look at options to bolster" Nato's air defence over Poland.
The drones that entered Poland were part of overnight attacks on Ukraine, during which Russia launched 415 drones.
The Polish President Karol Nawrocki wrote on X that he has spoken with Donald Trump.
"Just a moment ago, I spoke by phone with US President Donald Trump regarding the repeated violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones, which occurred last night," he wrote.
"The conversation is part of a series of consultations I am conducting with our allies.
"Today's talks confirmed allied unity," he added.
Moscow hasn't explicitly denied the incident, saying only that the strike "did not include any targets" in Poland.
Russia also said it was ready to "hold consultations" with the Polish defence ministry.
Nato Secretary-General Mark Rutte said the incident was "absolutely reckless", expressing full solidarity with Poland.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer also described it as an "extremely reckless move", which "only serves to remind us of President Putin's blatant disregard for peace".
Defence Minister John Healey said he asked the British armed forces to "look at options to bolster" Nato's air defence over Poland.
