"Due to the massive attack by the Russian Federation using cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles on objects located, among others, in western Ukraine, Polish and allied aircraft have started operating in our airspace," the operational command of NATO member Poland's armed forces posted on X.
Russia's missile attack targeted power infrastructure across Ukraine, forcing the launch of preventive outages, Energy Minister German Galushchenko said on Sunday. Some 50,000 Russian troops have reportedly moved to a region held by Ukraine since August, with experts saying it is no coincidence that the renewed interest coincides with the US presidential race and the re-election of Donald Trump.
