Two Polish airports reopen after temporary closure due to Russian strikes on Ukraine

On Saturday, Poland's armed forces scrambled fighter jets after Russian strikes on Ukraine, prompting the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency to temporarily close and then reopen Lublin and Rzeszow airports around 8am.
Overnight, Russia launched missile and drone strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions, injuring at least 11 and causing emergency power cuts, Ukrainian officials said.
Reporters in Kyiv heard several powerful explosions on Saturday as authorities warned of missile attacks, with officials saying a 16-year-old was among the injured.
Beyond immediate damage, the strikes underscore the nearly four-year war that has killed tens of thousands and cut power for 320,000 households, leaving a third of civilians in Kyiv without heating.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged more pressure on Russia and air-defence supplies after Kyiv and Washington sent a 20-point peace framework to Russia.
