Poland Scrambles Jets Amid Russian Missile Attacks

A large-scale Russian missile attack on Ukraine has prompted Poland to scramble its air force and mobilize all available resources to protect its airspace. Explosions were reported in multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, and Zaporizhzhia, with significant damage and injuries reported. Ukrainian officials noted that the attack involved cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and drones, targeting critical infrastructure and residential areas. As a precaution, power was cut in several regions, including Kyiv, to mitigate further damage. The Ukrainian Air Force issued alerts nationwide, urging residents to seek shelter as they monitored the incoming threats. This escalation in hostilities comes as the winter months approach, raising concerns over potential impacts on energy resources and civilian safety.
