Russia launched an attack on Ukraine overnight, according to Ukrainska Pravda, with 14 Tu-95MS strategic bombers taking off from the Olenya base on the Kola peninsula. The air warning lasted over two hours, and several missiles were launched towards the Lviv region in western Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials have stated that Russia attacked the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and the western city of Lviv with 57 missiles and drones yesterday night as part of the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict. According to the Kyiv Air Force’s Telegram channel, the Ukrainian defence destroyed 18 out of 29 Russian missiles and 25 out of 28 drones.
Russian soldiers targeted “critical infrastructure” in the Lviv region, according to Andriy Sadovyi, the western Ukrainian city’s mayor, on Telegram. He described an attack involving perhaps 20 missiles and seven drones.
Poland: “One of Moscow’s rockets violated our airspace.”
One of Russia’s cruise missiles launched on Ukraine last night briefly violated Polish airspace. The claim comes from the Polish armed forces via a post on X.
“The object entered Polish airspace near the town of Oserdow and remained there for 39 seconds.” “Throughout the entire flight, it was tracked by military radar systems.”
In a message posted on X, the Polish armed forces state that “the Operational Command of the Armed Forces has observed intense long-range air activity by the Russian Federation, related to air and missile attacks on objects located in Ukrainian territory,” as a result of which “all necessary procedures have been initiated to ensure the safety of Polish airspace.” “We warn,” it continues, “that Polish and allied aircraft have been activated, which may result in increased noise levels, especially in the southeastern part of the country.”
The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on X that “Poland will seek clarification from Russia regarding a new violation of the country’s airspace.” “Above all, we ask the Russian Federation to cease terrorist air attacks against the inhabitants and territories of Ukraine.”
