Poland investigates suspected Russian missile airspace breach amid Ukrainian strikes
Polish authorities are investigating an airspace violation by a suspected Russian Kh-101 missile as Moscow intensifies air strikes on Kyiv and rejects a frozen conflict.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that an object entering Polish airspace during a Russian attack on western Ukraine was likely a Kh-101 cruise missile. Tusk convened an emergency team alongside defense officials to inspect the site and investigate the breach.
The incident occurred amid escalating Russian air strikes across Ukraine. Early morning attacks targeted Kyiv, igniting fires across the Desnyanskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, and Solomyanskyi districts. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had previously warned that intelligence indicated Moscow was preparing another major missile barrage. Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the possibility of a frozen conflict, insisting Kyiv must accept Russia's conditions to end hostilities.
In international affairs, member states of the International Criminal Court voted to remove Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan following allegations of sexual misconduct.
