Suspected Russian missile breaches Polish airspace amid ongoing strikes
Polish authorities report a suspected Russian missile entered Polish airspace, while Ukrainian defenses intercept 65 drones and US forces strike targets in Iran.
Tensions along NATO's eastern border escalated after Polish authorities confirmed that a suspected Russian Kh-101 cruise missile likely entered Polish airspace, leaving a ten-meter crater. The breach occurred amid continuing air operations across Ukraine, where Ukrainian air defense forces reported intercepting 65 out of 80 Russian attack drones launched overnight.
In Russian-occupied Crimea, Ukrainian drone strikes targeting energy infrastructure caused widespread power and water shortages, forcing residents to depend on private generators. Meanwhile, broader international conflicts continued as US Central Command conducted airstrikes on Iranian military sites, targeting missile and drone facilities following warnings from US President Donald Trump.
