Polish prosecutors confirm armed Russian missile landed near Ukrainian border
Polish prosecutors confirmed an armed Russian Kh-101 missile landed in Poland during a massive aerial assault on Ukraine, causing no casualties locally.
Polish prosecutors have confirmed that an armed missile, identified as a Russian Kh-101 containing significant explosives, landed in the Lublin region near the Ukrainian border. The impact created a ten-meter crater in an open field, though Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk noted the incident caused no casualties or material destruction. Tusk stated there was no indication Poland was deliberately targeted, attributing the event to a massive Russian assault on Ukraine that involved over 70 missiles and 280 drones.
The barrage resulted in multiple civilian fatalities across Ukraine, including children near Kryvyi Rih. Despite the airspace breach, Tusk reaffirmed Warsaw's commitment to supporting Kyiv.
