In a sign of the dangers Russia’s continuing invasion of Ukraine pose, Poland, a NATO member, scrambled F-16 fighter jets after a Russian missile strayed briefly into Polish airspace during a major missile attack on Ukraine.
It was Russia’s third big missile attack on Ukraine in the past four days, and the second to target the capital, Kyiv.
The governor of the Lviv region, Maksym Kozytskyi, said on the Telegram platform that critical infrastructure was hit, but he didn’t specify what precisely was struck. No deaths or injuries were reported.
Armed Forces Operational Command of Poland, a member of NATO, said in a statement that there was a violation of Polish airspace at 4:23 a.m. in Poland (11:23 p.m. Saturday EDT), by one of the cruise missiles launched by Russia against towns in western Ukraine.
