Poland Scrambles Jets After Russian Strikes on Ukraine
- On June 9, 2025, Poland deployed fighter jets in response to a major Russian assault involving missiles and drones launched against areas of western Ukraine close to the Polish border.
- The strikes followed Russia’s move to reach the western frontier of Donetsk and attack the adjacent Dnipropetrovsk region, escalating the conflict.
- Russian drone attacks killed at least 12 civilians and injured 65 across Ukraine in the last 24 hours, while all Ukrainian regions were under air raid alerts.
- In response to intensified air strikes, Polish and allied forces deployed aircraft over Polish airspace early in the morning to maintain border security, according to the Polish Operational Command.
- The escalation dampens hopes for peace as Ukraine rejects Russian claims of advances and President Zelensky says Russia ignores all peace proposals.
