FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE – Polish and allied fighter jets were activated early Monday to safeguard Polish airspace following a wave of Russian missile and drone strikes on Ukraine, officials said.
The move came amid a surge in Russian attacks aimed at overwhelming Ukraine’s air defenses.
Air raid sirens sounded across much of Ukraine Sunday night as drones entered the country’s airspace.
Authorities said eight people were injured in Kyiv, one critically.
Poland’s military said it scrambled aircraft and placed ground-based air defense systems on high alert.
No violations of Polish airspace were reported
