Another overnight Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine included major strikes on the far western city of Lviv, which lies hundreds of miles from the front lines, which resulted in seven people killed, according to Ukrainian authorities.
These stepped-up strikes are widely viewed as retaliation for Kiev forces’ ongoing Kursk cross-border offensive. But given that missiles rained down so close in proximity to Ukraine’s border with Poland, Polish aerial forces were scrambled during the attack.
Sources report that Polish and allied aircraft were scrambled for the third time in eight days to closely monitor the inbound projectiles, and were ready to intercept them in the event the missiles approached Polish airspace.
