Donald Tusk told MPs that Poland had recorded 19 drone incursions, with some flying deep enough to temporarily close four airports, including Warsaw's main hub Chopin.
Jets were scrambled in response to what Tusk described as a "provocation".
The incident marks the first time Russian drones have been shot down over the territory of a Nato member since Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Russia declined to comment, while Ukraine's foreign minister said the incident showed "Putin continues to escalate, expands the war".
