A Russian missile headed for Ukraine temporarily breached Polish airspace on Sunday.
Ukrainian officials said Russia struck before dawn in its second attack against the capital city in the last four days. Kyiv’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko, reported “explosions in the capital” on Telegram on Sunday, advising people to remain in shelter as the city’s air defense deployed.
The city of Lviv, which lies less than 50 miles from the Polish border, was also under attack, its mayor Andriy Sadovy said. Russian artillery “targeted critical infrastructures” with about 20 missiles and seven Iranian-made drones, Sadovy added. Polish Armed Forces Operational Command said its air force was active and standing by due to the “intensive long-range aviation activity of the Russian Federation tonight.”
It added that a Russian missile had temporarily breached Polish airspace for 39 seconds. “During the entire flight, it was observed by military radar systems,” Command said, adding that it would’ve been shot down if it appeared headed for a Polish target.
