Poland’s military reports intercepting a Russian strike near its western border, prompting the deployment of its own fighter jets in response. The incident underscores escalating tensions along NATO’s eastern flank as Moscow’s military activity in Ukraine draws closer to allied territories. Authorities have yet to clarify whether the attack targeted Ukrainian forces or civilian infrastructure, raising concerns over potential spillover effects. The development follows a pattern of heightened Russian aggression near Poland’s borders in recent weeks.
Warsaw also says it scrambled military planes in response to a Russian attack in western Ukraine, close to its border.
