Missile violates Polish airspace as Russia pounds Ukraine

Russia has violated Poland’s airspace for the third time since President Vladimir Putin launched his country’s invasion of Ukraine.

Russia violated Poland’s airspace early on Sunday after a cruise missile launched at targets in western Ukraine crossed briefly into the NATO country, the Polish armed forces said.

The Polish air force and allies scrambled jets to monitor airspace during the attack, which was launched from at least 13 Russian strategic bombers, the country’s armed forces spokesman Jacek Goryszewski said in a televised press briefing. The missile would have been taken down if its trajectory had been further into Polish territory, according to the defence minister.

While Ukrainian forces continued to repel attacks along the 1200-kilometre front line, they also took aim at targets inside Moscow-controlled areas.
