Poland Claims Russian Missile May Have Struck Its Territory
Polish authorities are investigating whether the object was a Russian Kh-101 missile after radar tracked it over western Ukraine and into Polish airspace, officials said.
- On Thursday, an object crashed into a field near Targowisko, Poland, leaving a large crater after a massive overnight Russian strike on Ukraine prompted Warsaw to scramble fighter jets and place air defenses on high alert.
- Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated the projectile was a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile that crossed into Polish airspace, though Polish officials have not yet confirmed the specific weapon type involved.
- NATO military headquarters spokesperson Martine O'Donnell said the alliance activated air defenses in response to the intrusion, with Polish F-16s and other aircraft scrambled after radar tracked an unidentified object moving westward inside Polish airspace.
- At approximately 5:58 am local time, residents in the Lublin Voivodeship reported a massive explosion that woke them, with emergency crews and police securing the crater near Tarnawa-Kolonia, about 95 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
- Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that potential Russian provocations testing NATO's resolve could prove critical in coming months, as the incident underscores intensifying security challenges on the alliance's eastern flank.
