TFD – Delve into the escalating crisis as the Ukrainian military strikes Russian landing ships amidst missile and drone attacks. Stay informed with TheFoxDaily for in-depth coverage of the ongoing developments.

Poland’s armed forces launched “all necessary procedures” to secure its airspace overnight after a Russian long-range cruise missile headed for western Ukraine momentarily breached Polish territory. This included activating Polish and ally aviation.

The incident happened while Russia was hitting Ukraine with a barrage of missile and drone attacks. Russia attacked Ukraine’s power infrastructure on Friday, causing blackouts and at least three fatalities.

The missile entered Polish airspace for 39 seconds at 4:23 a.m. (11:23 p.m. ET on Saturday), traveling around one mile inside the nation while traveling at a speed of nearly 500 miles per hour, according to the military of that nation.

There is a chance that even an unintentional Russian missile launch into Poland’s airspace might worsen and extend the conflict across the border.

Polish officials declared on Sunday that they would “demand explanations from Russia in connection with another violation of the country’s airspace.”

In a statement on X, the ministry stated, “above all, we call on the Russian Federation to stop terrorist air attacks on the inhabitants and territory of Ukraine.”

When this happened previously, in December 2023, Poland called the Russian charge d’affaires and demanded an explanation.

Russian missiles were reportedly flying near to the Polish border during a significant strike on Lviv, according to earlier Telegram reports from Ukrainian news sources.

Poland’s armed forces stated on X that “Polish and allied aircraft have been activated, which may result in increased noise levels, especially in the south-eastern part of the country.”

Days have passed as Russia has been battering Ukraine, which Moscow claims is retaliation for Ukrainian actions during the country’s most recent presidential election.

U.S. Ambassador Bridget Brink tweeted on X early on Sunday, saying, “All of Ukraine is under an air alert and has been advised to seek shelter for the third pre-dawn morning this week.” “Russia is breaking international law by launching drones and missiles indiscriminately, disregarding millions of civilians in the process.”

The attacks over night reportedly involved 28 Iranian “Shahed” drones and 29 cruise missiles, according to the Ukrainian military. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, of them, Ukraine shot down 25 drones and 18 cruise missiles.

Officials from Russia refrained from commenting on the events of the previous night.

The mayor of Lviv, Andriy Sadovyi, stated on Telegram that while there had not been any assaults on the city itself, the greater Lviv region had been the target of some 20 missiles and seven attack drones that were aimed at “critical infrastructure.”

The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, stated that after the city’s defenses repelled strikes, several explosions were heard.

According to Serhiy Popko, chief of Kyiv’s military administration, on the Telegram, Ukraine’s air defense troops shot down roughly a dozen Russian-launched missiles over the city and its environs.

According to preliminary knowledge, the strikes did not result in any substantial damage or casualties, he said.

The Ukrainian military also announced that it had attacked two Russian landing ships while conducting operations on the Crimean Peninsula that it had annexed.
