A massive Russian aerial assault on Ukraine has left at least nine dead and dozens injured, prompting Poland to launch defensive air patrols to secure its borders during the bombardment. <\/p>\n
Russia launched a coordinated overnight attack on Ukraine using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones. Air raid alerts were triggered across nearly the entire country, with Kyiv identified as one of the primary targets.<\/p>\n
According to city military administration head Tymur Tkaczenko, the offensive caused at least nine deaths and 42 injuries. Rescue operations remain ongoing as many residential buildings were damaged or destroyed, leaving civilians trapped under the rubble.<\/p>\n
The Polish Operational Command of the Armed Forces activated its military aviation and ground-based air defense systems during the night. The deployment of fighter jets was described as a preventive measure in response to Russian long-range aviation activity near the border.<\/p>\n
The operation was supported by French Air Force jets and Dutch air defense systems. Polish authorities confirmed that no violation of Polish airspace occurred during the mission.<\/p>\n
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously warned that Russia was preparing a large-scale attack following the U.S. Independence Day holiday and ahead of the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara. He renewed his urgent appeal for Western partners to bolster Ukraine’s air defense capabilities, specifically requesting more Patriot missile systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
