Russia conducted a widespread overnight missile and drone attack on Ukraine, killing at least nine people and prompting Poland to scramble fighter jets to secure its airspace as a precautionary measure. <\/p>\n
Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine between Sunday and Monday, triggering air raid alerts across almost the entire country. The assault, which lasted until the morning hours, targeted locations including Kyiv with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones.<\/p>\n
The strikes caused at least nine deaths and left 42 people injured. Rescue operations remain ongoing as many residential buildings were damaged or destroyed, leaving victims trapped under the rubble.<\/p>\n
Poland\u2019s Operational Command of the Branches of the Armed Forces announced the mobilization of military aviation within Polish airspace due to the intensity of the Russian long-range strikes. Fighter jets were deployed, while ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems were placed on high alert.<\/p>\n
The mission, which included support from French Air Force fighters and Dutch air defense systems, was purely preventive. The Polish military confirmed that no violations of Polish airspace occurred during the operation.<\/p>\n
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had warned on Sunday that Russia was preparing a massive strike following the U.S. Independence Day and ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara. He reiterated his appeal to Western partners to bolster Ukraine’s air defense capabilities, specifically by providing more Patriot missile systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
