Polish authorities are investigating a suspected Russian Kh-101 missile airspace breach following major strikes across Ukraine and Kyiv.

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 defense officials and an emergency coordination team to inspect the site and investigate the breach.

The airspace violation occurred alongside 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 Ukraine must accept Russia's terms to end hostilities. Separately, member states of the International Criminal Court voted to remove Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan following allegations of sexual misconduct.
