Sept 10 (Reuters) - Polish stocks slipped on Wednesday after Poland shot down Russian drones that entered its airspace during a widespread Russian attack in western Ukraine.

The Warsaw's bourse blue-chip index .WIG20 was down around 1.3% at 0755 GMT, and one of few regional indices in the red in Europe.

"It's not panic but a noticeable downward move," Konrad Ryczko, an analyst at DM BOS, said pointing to uncertainty over how the situation develops.

The benchmark index dropped when Russia launched its war against Poland's neighbour in February 2022, but has since recovered losses and is up some 28% so far this year.

Lenders Alior Bank ALRR.WA and Pekao PEO.WA were leading losses on the index, both down around 2.6%.
